KFC style hot wings

I decided to try to make hot wings like KFC. This is my variation:

In large bowl mix about 1/3c Lawry's Louisiana red pepper marinade with your choice of hot sauce-(taste it it should be a little hotter than you want your wings) add 2 cloves crushed garlic & salt &black pepper to taste. Add 2 pounds of wings-you should have just enough marinade to coat the wings. Refrigerate for 1/2-1 hour. Shake wings in a bag of flour 5 or 6 at a time. Fry until golden brown. I usually fry it in 2 batches, keeping the first batch hot on arack over a cookie sheet in the oven.

kitty snails trails quilt

I'm going to get a new great niece/nephew in a couple of months. I made a variation of the snails trails block for the front of his/her baby quilt. I know that the quilt police say that solid fabrics make boring quilts, but to that, I say "pbbbbbbbbt" The stripe fabric has so much going on that it DEMANDS solids. The solid colors are chintz "mill rags". Of course I used my Innova long arm to quilt it. Start to finish-10 days which included 3 days when I was too sick to sew. (A bug that's been going around-I'm over it now.) Batted with Thinsulate, of course.
Detail pic. Of course it has kitties.
Back of the quilt-inspiration? I cut 4 triangles of the stripe for the front & then decided that they were too big, so.. in order not to waste them, they decided the back design.

I just finished 2 more quilts

I've been busy finishing quilts. First we have a quilt that I made for Charlie from "luxury" wool suiting samples. some are part cashmere, or mink & there are a couple of camel hairs. Pieced on both sides & batted with Thinsulate. A "utility" quilt made with luxurious fabrics- I love the contradictions. first the back: Then the front:


This is a Snails trails quilt that I made for my grandson, Logan from mostly recycled denim. I enjoyed the pattern so much that I'm working on a baby quilt for a coming great niece/nephew in the same pattern. It was fun to add the pockets, but working with the recycled denim is a bit of a pain.
