Hello,

Teas, Seasonings, Jellies, oh yes!  It has been a busy time, and I have been enjoying my work with Quilter's Comfort!  I am still breaking out in a very big smile each time I think of my jelly being consumed by Upland diners!  Wheat Ale Jelly, yes!  And what turned out to be the season favorite, Chocolate Raspberry Stout, especially Bear Kisses. Which most will have to wait for next year for more, as it turned out to be a seasonal brew.  Or maybe I will find myself experimenting with another dark beer.  Something really wonderful happens when you introduce fruit and chocolate into beer!  Wine too!

Roses for You

So much going on!  Last weekend I had Quilter's Comfort products with me at the BLOOM Mag Artist Showcase in the Bloomington, IN Convention Center.  I appreciate having a few teas and seasonings there with my visual arts. 

Yesterday, I dropped off a few small quilts to the Farmer House Museum for their annual quilt show opening first Friday in March!

Our new tea DOWNSTREAM is luscious, fragrant and a smooth herbal joy! 

On March 19th, Quilter's Comfort products will be with me at Women's Market in the Eiteljorg Museum!   I am excited to introduce my series of Seasoned Greetings from Indiana!  I am still deciding if it is okay to use this greeting for teas and spices, or whether it would be best to also make Herbal Greetings from Indiana!  

Abstracted Summer V

Roses for You is and Abstracted Summer V are two of the images that will grace the cover of  Quilter's Comfort's Herbal Art Seasoned Greeting cards!  Nice to look at, frame-able and delicious!


Herbal blessings!

Holiday Events, Jellies, Jellies and Chef Collaboration

 

May this note find all well and your hearts full of joy, and that Quilter’s Comfort will be some part of your celebrations and your day to day life.

For many of us, this may be a very hectic time.  If you are on the mailing list, you know that Quilter’s Comfort participated in Holiday House and thank all who came out to support the event and my herbal business in particular.

The Quilter’s Comfort website has been updated, well mostly.  There is still work to be done and pages to link, so please bare with me as I juggle the work.  Bloomington folks please note purchase arrangements available to avoid shipping cost!

Now, I am preparing for this year’s Krista Detour Holiday Show, Market and CD Release.  Each year Krista hosts a benefit for a local non-profit.  This year it is for VIPS, Visually Impaired Preschoolers and takes place Friday, December 18, 7:00 pm in the Unitarian Universalist Church.  Visit her website at http://www.kristadetour.com for details.

I plan to offer herbal teas, seasonings and this year have some new packaging options and gift sets. 

I also have an assortment of jellies- local beer, local coffee, herbal and some fruit jellies - Cranberry Orange and Apple Jam.  I also have some very decadently delicious Chocolate Raspberry Stout (certified organic) jam and Rose Delight (made from certified organic coconut sugar and local honey!  As you know, all are made in small batches, so are available while supplies last, or by special order.

Over the last month, just from a chance meeting, I have been exploring UPLAND Brewery’s Wheat Ale to be used by Executive Chef Padraig Cullen.  I am very excited about this collaboration and getting the details worked out to both our liking.  I love having the staff referring to me as their beer jelly lady!  So much fun and appreciation all around!  There are a few other collaborations brewing and depending on the details will unfold in 2016.

Speaking of 2016, we have the name for our new tea!  Visit our website tea page to see the name! Click Here
