Annie's Ramblings 4.8.26 "Kaffe is leaving the building..."

Hi there. If you are wondering about the subject line for this email, as far as I know Kaffe Fassett is still breathing –

7.08.26 1but he is, or rather his fabric is leaving Annie’s as we have decided to make room for other beautiful fabrics. This means you get the savings with 20% off all meterage. (Min cut 50cm) Go on…fill up your cupboards, you know you want to!

Speaking of beautiful fabrics, this range is from Australian Designers Max and Louise, and we have a limited number of these stunning Fernshaw kits ($469.00). This is a large quilt at 93 ½” x 93 ½” but if you love it, don’t be shy as once they are gone they are gone!

7.08.26 2We are working on lots of new kits and projects for the shop and so that we have lots of new things to show you at our stand in the merchants mall at the Christchurch Symposium early October. (Just 58 sleeps to go in fact!) This is the bi-annual, not to be missed, event in our quilting world – check out the website below as it is not too late to be a part of it. If you are from out of town and planning a roadie, make sure you put our Ashburton store on your itinerary as our little cottage is a destination in itself. ☺

Now, on to the recipe which is a delicious winter warmer served up with lots of mash or roast veges and plenty of greens.

 

  

Sticky Honey and Rosemary Chicken

  • 8 small chicken thigh pieces with skin on
  • 2 small oranges (lemon would also work well)
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Marinate (mix together in a jug):
  • ½ cup warm honey
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/3 c fresh orange juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • \½ tsp tumeric\
  • 1/3 c olive oil

Arrange the chicken pieces in a deep dish and pour over half the marinade. Cover and chill for up to 4 hours.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan and discard the marinade. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Place slices or orange on top of each piece of chicken and brush with the extra marinade. Bake for 20 minutes. Garnish with extra rosemary.

That’s all from me this time, happy stitching!
