There is a...I have never heard of peeling it first. There is a third way to cut up a melon. After we wash the melon, we have removed the seeds and sliced it, then we cross cut the slices and pulled the points back to flare the center section, it reminds me of clipping curved pieces. Once you have the ends pulled back it is almost a straight cut between the peel and the melon center.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779941292169327439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8473747983965387602016-08-06T11:05:37.295-04:002016-08-06T11:05:37.295-04:00Love your quote for the day...

And now you are teaching me - and apparently a lot of others - a thing or two in the kitchen! I have always prepared melons (cantaloupe my all time favorite!) the way you did. I can see how this method would be faster. Thanks for increasing my knowledge!!<br />I also recently purchased a Singer 301. I was never interested in vintage machines until I became a Bonnieholic. I started out looking at featherweights, but chose the 301 because of your recommendations. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this machine!!! I have always had a sewing machine, but they were just sewing machines. EVERY time I sit down at this machine, I am amazed how much I LOVE this machine!! Even though it has some dings and scratches, sewing on it is SO MUCH FUN!! My machine's name? BONNIE, of course!!

You give us so many ideas and options!!<br /><br />I love how you have been posting your "quotes/sayings" on the vintage quilts that you have seen or own. They are all works of art! It is so interesting when you have shared your knowledge of block names and possible dating by types of fabrics. Thank you for sharing and letting us observe and learn more about the gems from quilters before us!<br /><br />Do you know what the block in this quilt is called?
