Bear/Rainbow Panel on the Frame

Here's what's on my frame today.  It's just a panel of a bear with some balloons and a rainbow.  I thought it would be a good place to do some freehand practice.

 

I remember buying this panel in 1980.  I was going to make my first notted quilt.   My mom was making curtains and quilts for my two 3-year nephews.  I never did anything with it back then.  Sadly my nephew, Tommy, was killed in a tragic farm accident during that time.  I don't usually post stuff like this on my blog.  I'm still not over the hurt.  I still think of Tommy all the time.  Never forgotten.

Got this recipe from Michelle Foster's facebook page:

Crockpot Orange Chicken

Ingredients:
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced about 1/2-inch thick
2 large red or green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
... 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 ounces orange juice concentrate
2 cups Mandarin orange segments or fresh orange segments
2 Green onions, chopped
hot cooked rice
Directions:
Put carrots, peppers, garlic, then the chicken, ginger, salt, pepper & frozen orange juice in Crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW 4 to 6 hours. Serve chicken on hot cooked rice on platter. Top with orange segments and green onions. Serve chicken liquid in gravy boat, if desired.

On a funnier note, I have a work-from-home job in which I'm that operator standing by to take your call as seen in a lot of commercials.  I wonder if I will be selling this in the future:

LOL!
