Clockwise from back right: Joyce Armstrong, Marg Bowers, Joan Merrier and Gail Turner were working on "Aurelia's Journey Quilt" at the Tuesday morning session. Most quilts take on average two months to complete. (Photos by Melody Falconer - Pounder) BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER The social aspect of the St. Andrew's Quilter's Group is just as important as the quilting. Kathleen Siertsema pours coffee for Grace Koehler as Eleanor Coutts looks on during Coffee Break on Feb. 7. Tuesdays are a very busy time at St. Andrew's United Church with two quilting groups taking up residence in the church basement. The folks who gather there are often stitching for a good cause or two. But it is even more than just putting a needle and thread to cloth there is a strong social aspect to it too. The St. Andrew's Quilter's Group gathers together every Tuesday morning. Around 10 a.m. they take a break for coffee. "We often have as many as 30 plus and it is a wonderful social time for everyone," said Kathleen Siertsema, a club member. Quilters must keep up their strength and the St. Andrew's group is very fortunate to have four women who keep them well fed. "Lunch time is never planned and is always a surprise, but we always have lots to eat," said Siertsema. "We extend a very big thank you to Hilda Gerger, and her helpers, Joyce Scotchmer, Elaine Dunn - Rivett and Grace Koehler as they continue to spoil us by looking after making the coffee, making soup, serving the lunch and washing dishes." Siertsema went on to explain that they always have two quilts set up and often both are surrounded by busy quilters. In the winter there are usually some away in the sunny south but the club is happy to welcome them back with their new ideas. "We quilt many large beautiful quilts, some pieced, some embroidered, some whole cloth, all very different and all very beautiful when done," she said. Sometimes they get extra help from quilters outside the area who come to help them quilt if the project is designated for a particular cause. "Everyone always loves to come to Bayfield because they get so spoiled here. They make us realize how lucky we are to have such a wonderful place to quilt. The church hall is a very busy spot and we are happy that the revenue that is generated from the quilting group helps the UCW," she said. It will feature Lisa Stewart, and the Bayfield "Andrews Sisters". They will transport all who attend this event to be held at the Bayfield Town Hall back to the era of the big band on Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10. In addition to the live music there will be dancing and a cash bar. For more information and for tickets please call Judy Keightley at 519 565-4515 or Kate Lloyd -Rees at 519 565-4404.

ANTIQUE SHOW Cold temperatures and gray skies don't exactly conjure up images of the Bayfield Antique Show and Sale hosted each August by the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church. However, the event coordinators are hoping to get people thinking about it and maybe even considering volunteering at the event to be held Aug. 10-12 at the Bayfield Community Centre. The Antique Show and Sale now in its 27th season is a wonderful boon to the village and help from both residents and summer folk is needed to make it a continued success. There are a variety of tasks to choose from when volunteering, helping with set up, serving in the tearoom, security and front door admission sales are but a few examples.

IN THE KITCHEN WITH KATE AND JUDY AN APPETIZING EXPERIENCE PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week07lssuel36/tabid/547/Default.aspx 6/11 5/28/2019 Week 07 Issue 136 "Small Plates for Sharing" was the topic of the final session of Take Time 2012. It was held at Trinity Anglican Church on Feb. 6 and was comprised of a cooking demonstration by Bayfield's own Kate Lloyd -Rees and Judy Keightley (pictured). The duo shared their knowledge on the creation of quick and tasty appetizers. Appetizer -Sized Gazpacho 2-3 slices of white break (crusts removed) crumbled and soaked in water for two hours 1 kg ripe tomatoes Half a green pepper 1 clove garlic Half a cucumber 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tbsp wine vinegar Salt and pinch of sugar Squeeze water from bread and put in food processor with rest of ingredients process for a few minutes until totally smooth. Dilute with small amounts of cold water if too thick. Chill in fridge for at least two hours. Pour into individual shot glasses and serve topped with finely chopped cucumber and a crouton. Makes 24 shot -glass servings. The final Take Time 2012 topic really appealed to women as 54 of them attended the afternoon held in the Trinity Anglican Church Parish Hall. "Small Plates for Sharing" was the topic of the fourth and final session held on Feb. 6 and was comprised of a cooking demonstration by Bayfield's own Kate Lloyd -Rees and Judy Keightley. The duo shared their knowledge on the creation of quick and tasty appetizers. Kate Lloyd -Rees shared some insight into "Pinchos"; an appetizer typically served in the Basque region of Spain and a personal favorite of hers to make. She explained that there are dozens of varieties, each based on the principle of putting food on top of sliced baguettes with a cocktail stick used to keep the stacked items in place. She also noted that the slices of bread could be served plain or toasted. Many combinations of toppings can be created. Lloyd -Rees demonstrated Cream Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper as well as Ham and Cheese but other ideas might include Sour Cream and Smoked Salmon drizzled with lemon; Brie, Mushroom and Tomato; or Eggplant, Guacamole and Shrimp. The ladies also demonstrated some easy dips and spreads, quiche, bruschetta and an Appetizer -Sized Gazpacho. They finished with a dainty little dessert appetizer known as "Strawberry Delights". After the demonstration was finished those in the audience got to sample the appetizers as Keightley and Lloyd -Rees were kept busy preparing a few trays full prior to the session. And perhaps most importantly all went home with a copy of the recipes to try in their own kitchen. Judy Keightley gives the audience a closer look at the Appetizer -Sized Gazpacho created by Kate Lloyd -Rees. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week07lssuel36/tabid/547/Default.aspx 7/11 5/28/2019 Week 07 Issue 136 The final Take Time topic of the season really appealed to women as 54 of them attended the afternoon held in the Trinity Anglican Church Parish Hall.

Kate Lloyd -Rees added olive oil to the mix before blending the Gazpacho. Judy Keightley explained that she loves to "steal" recipes from family and friends - then she preceded to demonstrate "Rita's Simple Quiches"; friend Rita was in the crowd to ensure she did it properly. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week07lssuel36/tabid/547/Default.aspx 8/11 5/28/2019 Week 07 Issue 136 Strawberry Delights 1 pkg. wanton wrappers Strawberries 2 tbsp. cream cheese 1 tbsp. icing sugar Blueberries for decorating Cut wanton wrappers into four pieces.

I love going to plays and am so grateful that we have such amazing theatre companies under two hours drive from us — two just thirty minutes away in fact. However, most are only active in the summer and it is difficult for me to get to these productions during peak tourist season considering the other work hat I wear. So going to get to see Ed's Garage at The Grand Theatre in London was a real treat. No one tells a story about rural Ontario life better than playwright Dan Needles and no one tells his stories better than Rod Beattie. As these heartwarming tales usually do it made me a little nostalgic for my childhood on the farm. There was always something comforting about walking into a diary barn on a cold winter's night. It was always warm and gave off a sweet aroma of silage cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week07lssuel36/tabid/547/Default.aspx 10/11 5/28/2019 Week 07 Issue 136 and hay. These are moments I remember. But as the play indicated farming is not the same way of life that it once was. I agree with Ed that the beginning of the end came with the invention of the large round bale. In the story, a lot of former farmers would make their way to Ed's Garage seeking guidance and a reason to carry on, to learn to enjoy their new life; not an easy subject but one tackled successfully with humor in true Needles -Beattie style. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
