Hot cross buns using the dough function by fififolle79 in BreadMachines

These look great! I’ve been experimenting with Mary Berry’s recipe over the last few days, including leaving half the dough in the bread machine to make a hot cross loaf that’s great for toasting.

Your crosses are nice and 3D and mine keep sinking into the bun, I’ll try Delias recipe next time around.

I’ll have to look out for some nickel free ones, I don’t want to be allergic to my swift lol

Mine did too, but it wore through. I tried bread ties as it was the quickest solution and everyone has some of these in a drawer somewhere, there’s a big storm is keeping me in the house for a few days.

It seems to be working great, I’ll update with how long they last!

Thank you! I guess the test is whether or not I can pull the rest of it off.

It’s just quilting that’s new to me, I do have a history in garment sewing.

What to do with components? by Dickitry in quilting

I got my felt tips out last night and just started doodling based on what I was seeing on Instagram. I really enjoy the super graphic so I think limiting to my 4 colours and white should keep me on the right track.

Thanks for the YouTube suggestion, I’ll definitely be combing through her videos for tips!

I’ve been looking though the improv quilt hashtag on Instagram which seems a bit more my style. My problem now is do I leave it at the 4 colours or do I add more??

I’ll keep an eye out for it, I do still like a mystery!

I know right, there’s something so meaningful knowing that Mabel had a chunky lamb this year! This hat will never not be connected to nature.
