Sneak Peek of the New Fabrics I Just Ordered

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

My fabric wholesaler sent me some pics of NEW PRINTS that he just got in (please see all images below). 

What I’m sooooo excited about (for real, that hard-to-catch-my-breath kind of excitement, ’cause, you know… I’m a weirdo) is that these are nice prints that come in many colors!  I’ll be able to make some fantastic lots with these suckers!

I asked for up to 175 yards.  I will have a fabric unboxing when the shipment arrives.  I can’t wait to get them!

Remember, if you want to get in on my Fabric Frenzies and Flash Sales so you can shop with much more variety and at reduced prices, you must become a Patron ($5/mo) or Youtube member ($4.99/mo).  I suggest Patreon since they have a better way to navigate the site.

I’m also having a free gift deal today if you become a new patron!  That will also give you first grabs at the new fabrics that are on the way!

Exclusive shopping is for USA only. If you are outside of the USA, you need to wait for items to appear on ebay and you must pay shipping through ebay’s global shipping program. Shipping is free for USA.

It’s the 1st of the month!  Become an Exclusive Shopper for a full month of sales! I have Flash Sales every weekend (there’s one going on now!) and Fabric Frenzy 23 starts on Feb 28. You can get in on all of that, plus get a freebie, simply by joining today!

A FREE Gift for You!

Join my Patreon at the $5 level Feb 1 thru Feb 3 and you will get a FREE GIFT simply for joining. No additional purchase needed!  The free gift is 40 of my little rotary cut 2 inch squares.  You can use the little squares for smaller patchwork projects like hot pads, mug rugs, a phone case, whatever! You can also make some fun 4 patch or 9 patch postage stamp quilt blocks to add to any quilt. You will get 40 squares, 10 different prints. 4 of each print. The prints are random.

Why should I join?  

Because joining instantly makes you an exclusive shopper!  You will be part of my weekend Flash Sales and bigger Fabric Frenzies which run about every 5 to 6 weeks. You will SAVE $$$ on my fabric because I sell to my exclusive shoppers at lower prices than I list in my ebay store.  You will also have much more fabric to choose from.  I sell out of so much fabric during my exclusive sales. You are missing out on all that fabric!

Who can join?

Anyone can join, but I only ship to the USA during my exclusive sales. If you are outside the USA, you need to wait until any leftovers are moved to my ebay store. Free gifts are also for USA only.

What are you waiting for?

Join right now and your free gift will be on the way! Be sure you include your mailing address when you join and CHECK THE OPTION TO RECEIVE MAIL. If you don’t check that option, patreon will not give me your mailing address.

Do I have to join Patreon? Can I become a Youtube Member instead?

If you become a youtube member, I will not get a notice nor will I get your mailing address.  If you rather join that platform, email me at peanutgallery@darlenemichaud.com after you join and send me your mailing address and your youtube membership name so I can confirm that you joined. Youtube memberships are $4.99 per month.

Thank you!

Caramel Crumble Bars Recipe – Easy 4 Ingredient Cookie Dough Hack

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

NOTE: Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies
1/2 cup caramel topping ()
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.

2:  Break up cookie dough in pan. Reserve 1/2 cup of the dough. Press remaining dough evenly in bottom of pan.

3:  Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes.

4:  Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir caramel topping and flour until well blended. Pour over crust in pan and spread to within 1/4-inch from edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the pecans over caramel.

5:  In small bowl, mix remaining dough and remaining pecans until well blended. Crumble over bars in pan.

6:  Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 hour. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Darlene’s Tips: You can try different flavor cookie dough and you can use any nuts you want. You could also add 1/4 total of any of these ingredients: shredded coconut, baking chips, raisins, chopped dates, chopped dried fruit, whatever!

Lemon Snack Mix Recipe – Just 4 Ingredients

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

NOTE: Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
9 cups Rice Chex cereal (or store brand)
1 1/4 cups white vanilla baking chips
1 lemon (or extract, see my tips below)
2 cups powdered sugar
(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside.

2: Wash the lemon then grate the peeling until you have about 4 teaspoons of grated peelings (does not have to be exact).

3:  Cut the lemon and squeeze until you have 2 tablespoons of juice.

4:  Place the baking chips, lemon peel and juice uncovered in a 1-quart microwavable bowl and microwave on High for 1 minute then stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer and stir again.

6:  Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.

7:  Pour mixture into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.  Add powdered sugar to bag. Seal bag and gently shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool. Store in airtight container.

Darlene’s Tips: You can use 2 teaspoons (not tablespoons) of lemon extract instead of the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.  If using extract, you can also skip the grated lemon since the extract is strong in flavor.  You can add other stuff to this mix too, like nuts, coconut, dried fruit, whatever!
