Quilting with ZippyStrippyQuilts
A few days ago I received a very interesting package containing a quilting book. I’ve never created a quilt myself, so I was very curious to see if it would be too hard.
The book is very easy to follow, it has step-by-step instructions, and several easy projects just about anyone could do. Each quilt project can be done in 6 hours or less, and if you ask me, that’s awesome!
Here are some of the things you’d need:
- a sewing machine
- flannel in 3 coordinating colors
- tape measure
- sharp scissors
- duct tape
- and more
If you’d like to learn how to create beautiful quilts for yourself and your loved ones, get one of Jenny Matlock’s books: ZippyStrippyQuilts: you’ll be creating beautiful quilts in 6 hours or less.
Marinated Asparagus Chicken

4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/4 cup Herb and garlic marinade with lemon juice, divided
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
Instructions:
Place 3/4 cup of the marinade in to a large zip lock bag. Add the chicken and make sure the chicken is coated well. Refrigerate 30 minutes being sure to turn the bag a couple of times.
Place 1/4 cup of the marinade in another large zip lock bag. Add the asparagus and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes being sure to turn the bag a couple of times. Remove the chicken and the asparagus and discard the marinade.
Bring the grill temperature to medium high. Place the chicken and asparagus on the grill and close the lid. Grill the chicken about 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink and juice runs clear. Grill the asparagus about 4 minutes or until just beginning to tender. Be sure to turn the asparagus a couple of times during cooking. Garnish with tomato slices and oregano sprigs if desired.
