I’m so pleased to be able to join in Pat Sloan’s “The Edge” blog hop celebrating her new Edge rulers! BUT, when I found out I’d be sharing the blog hop day with THE PAMKITTYMORNING and THE HAPPY ZOMBIE?!?!?! Can you imagine my glee?
I’m not sure Pat knew what she was in for.
Maybe Pat didn’t realize that we are AMP-ed about measuring! So we became Team AMP-ed and set about to show you that yes, indeedy, size does matter. We hit the road to measure the immeasureable (?), to compare and contrast the size of major landmarks, to take Pat’s rulers where they have never gone before! AMP-ed, I tell ya!
First off, my crack measuring team (Team Tiny AMP?), hit the city streets.
They totally got into the “spirit” of measuring. That’s the “Spirit of Detroit” statue, dontcha know.
Then they made their way into the middle of the street to meet Joe Louis and take the measure of the man.
Size matters! I’m getting out of the way of that man’s fist.
Next, they got a measure of the local economy.
Yeah, that’s the GM headquarters. I’m not sure that size is an accurate reading there.
All of that measuring made Tiny Team AMP hungry.
So they had to stop in to American Coney Island for a little refreshment.
And then they just took a picture of an immeasurably cute girl:
Well, because she’s cute.
Then Tiny Team AMP-ed 2 went back out on the road to get the measure of some fun and games.
First, we had to measure how much time we had.
Good, plenty of time before our ride wrist bands expire!
First we took on the Super Slide.
That was a measure of fun, BUT, the biggest winner on the midway?
Definitely the Skywheel!
Makes the Super Slide look absolutely puny. We confirmed that size definitely does matter when it comes to fun!
Finally, we took the ruler out into the wilds to see what we would find. What, ho? Giant marshmallows?
Well, OK, not really.
After putting Pat’s rulers through their measuring paces, we can say that other rulers just don’t measure up like Pat’s!
While the Team AMP-ed measuring feats were fun, Pat asked us to share our first quilting experiences.
I can’t show you my very first quilt because it died a slow, shred-dy death. I will tell you it was all solids in peach, brown, red, blue and green and it was a quilt-as-you-go log cabin from an Eleanor Burns’ book. I took a class through our local recreation program back in about 1993. I thought it was great and was having a lot of fun until it came time to figure out how to attach a backing to the thing. I believe I decided at that point, so early on in my quilting career, NEVER to quilt-as-I-went again. I’ve pretty much stuck to that. Although I have quilted-as-I’ve-appliqued a number of times.
The closest living relative to my first machine-done quilt is this one:
The venerable four-patch on point. Do you see the rebel yell in the quilt? I went against the grain, so to speak, and wanted to put a color in the setting squares. I took this class at a local shop and caused trouble from the start. I think the next quilt project was a small trip around the world (I believe I am still handquilting that one…). The one after that was a heinous elongated nine-patch with heavy use of tea dyed muslin and lipstick coral.
And, look, here’s my first rotary cutter:
I believe it still has its original blade. Ah, well. It got me on the road to much quilting mischief. The rest, as they say, is history and stuff I haven’t done yet.
Finally, Pat asked us to share a recipe. I’m going to share two because they are on my mind these days what with the change in seasons.
I start making this one around December.
Horseradish-Olive-Cheese Spread
2 – 8 oz. lite cream cheese
2/3 C. chopped green olives
2 Tbsp. horseradish
1/2 C. grated parmesan cheese
Mix together well. Chill. Seems to be best with stoned wheat crackers. yum yum
And I do believe vegetable roasting season has begun. This makes the house smell amazing!
****************************
Tomato Vegetable Casserole
(Recipe originally from Giada De Laurentiis)
1 medium potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yam, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
2 small or 1 large zucchini, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
Salt and pepper
2 large ripe tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons dried Italian-style bread crumbs
Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss the potato, yam, bell pepper, carrots, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until coated. Spread vegetables evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Arrange the onion slices evenly over the vegetable mixture. Arrange the zucchini over the onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the tomato slices over the zucchini.
Stir the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the Parmesan bread crumbs over the vegetables in the baking dish. Drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake uncovered until the vegetables are tender, and the topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs, if desired.
****************************
OK, now I’m starving. I’m going to have to go eat something now.
Anyhoo, if you’ve stuck around through the measuring antics, first quilt and recipes, you deserve a prize! And someone’s going to win an entire set of Pat’s new rulers.
To be entered to win the set, you must comment on ALL of the ruler blog hop posts. Comments will be open through Sunday.
In addition, I’m giving away a fat quarter set of Color Theory by Sandra Banava:
I’ll draw a winner from the comments to this post through Sunday.

Julia P said
Great humor! Love seeing parts of the city.
Stephanie said
This is the “funnest” ruler post yet. I’m especially loving the marshmallow forest. Looks like you had an ergonomic rotary cutter before they were “the thing.” Early quilting projects are fun to look at…color choices certainly have changed. These rulers are terrific and I’m in serious need of new ones.
Crystal Knight said
Thanks for the recipes. Look yummy! Also, I am loving visiting each blog. Great pictures of so many different places. I hope you will enter my name in your drawing for the rulers.
Robyn of Coffee and Cotton said
I loved your post! Fun.
I also love me some roasted veggies. It’s about the only way I cook them
Thanks for the fun tour and the great recipes!
Sarah Vee said
Loved your measuring! I finally cracked up at the marshmallows. The roasted veggie recipe smells good too, and I love the fat quarters. Thanks for sharing you quilting history and joining Pat on the hop.
Misty said
Great first quilt! Much nicer than my first. And your recipes sound great!

Cute post and photos. 🙂 Would love to have that ruler!
michele said
Interesting blog entry! Like the photos. I already have more rulers than I need, but maybe I need one of these too.
Kathy said
That color theory fabric looks great. Here I thought Happy Zombie had figured out the best way to show off the rulers and then you show it that way too, lol. It still is a cool way to show us all the rulers and the marks on the rulers!
Joan said
I’m off to get a sweet potato! That sounds yummy. Thanks!
Kim said
Beautiful pictures…love the fat quarters too!

Julia said
What a great measuring rulers. I enjoyed your excursion. –Julia
Sharrieboberry said
Four-ingredient recipe? I’m all over that. And how convenient as I have been thinking of some sort of cream cheese/olive concoction to try out. I hadn’t got to the part of looking for a recipe there and it just popped up in front of me. Cool!
Thanks for the tour!
Becky said
hee hee! Very cute. Love the fabric too!
pat sloan said

Linda Brown said
yummy more fabric this is good and rulers to. Thanks Linda
Linda P. said
I’d have to agree on the photo shoot partner – pretty cute! Loved your post and gave me chuckles. You have quite a nice rotary cutter there – maybe Pat will design a new one, and you can retire that one – lol!! Both recipes sound really good – especially the veggies, but I also like cream cheese & olive sandwich, so the dip sounds good also!! Thanks!!
Grace said
I really liked the color combination you chose for your first quilt. Loved your tour of your town! Those recipes sound good, and I can’t wait to try them. I love the colors in that fabric bundle.

Thanks for starting my day off with a smile (more like a side-splitting guffaw). I needed it. If I win the rulers, I might have to measure how much sleep I’ve NOT had this week. I’m not sure the 37″-er would be able to handle it, tho.
I’m glad I hopped. Thanks!
Ursula said
Great post. I love the way you use them in your posting. Very cute!

Thanks for the tour–I have everything to try your veggie recipe as have end of garden zucchini, tomatoes, peppers and onions to use up. To bad I can’t add pears to it. Our tree had around 25 bushel on it this year. All the neighbors hide when they see me coming because they think I am bringing more pears. grin Hope to see some of the new rulers at the AQS show in Des Moines next week. I get to go for all 4 days.

Thanks for showing us your “Almost First Quilt” and sharing your recipes. I like anything with Horseradish, will change it just a little (grate a purple onion and add just a touch of garlic). Can relate to still handquilting early quilt. My first quilt had stitches at the end that looked more like basting stitching. LOL

Ohh lots to say. Great blog! Love your fabric giveaway! Looks like your town really measures up! And thanks for the chance to win.
Brenda said
I LOVE to measure and to figure things out. In fact my favorite quilting tools are graph paper (or whatever) and drafting supplies. One of the things I do for fun is to look at a quilt or quilt photo and figure out how it was pieced. Not necessarily because I want to make it, but because I just want to KNOW. But for real quilting, these rulers would be wonderful. With my left hand in a splint and arthritis in both hands, both the non-slip and the sharpening features would be wonderful. I continually bump into the end of the ruler or come down on it (my eyes aren’t that great either ). So please help me out by using all of your power and skill to convince the magical random number generator to pop out mine for a change!
b/
P.S. The tomato vegi casserole sounds great. I have a neighbor who keeps me supplied with tomatoes and pears and there are only so many BLTs one can eat. Correction: that should be BAT for me — I use avocado instead of lettuce when I can! BTW, do you know a good recipe for pear crisp? I’m overflowing (enough to exceed the recommended intake of fruits)! I mean my fruit bowls and fridge, not me. Or other good pear recipes!
b/
