Turkey Tracks: Yummy Soup!

Yummy Soup!
I roasted a chicken the other day.
Roasted chicken always means making soup broth. With the Histamine Intolerance, I can’t make bone broths that cook for 24 hours any more—long cooking equals too much histamine in the food. But I’ve been able to make a quick broth with the bones and carcass that cooks about an hour.
I am so happy because I really love soup!
This soup is filled with local veggie goodies and two boneless chicken breasts cut into pieces. I had some cooked kate to add, some peas from the spring pea crop I blanched and froze, carrots, red peppers, leeks, cauliflower, the tiny last baby zucchini from my garden, and fresh garlic. These veggies all cook really quickly after being sweated for a bit in the pan to add more flavor.
I added some rice noodles that I cooked separately in the bottom of my soup bowl.
Yes, a yummy soup dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day.

This One’s Ready to Sew Together
This scrappy quilt is my own design. I’ve been working on it for some time now. I bought the sashing material from Becca Babb-Brott at least three or four years ago. (Becca has the Etsy store, Sew Me A Song.)
The 4 1/2-inch block centers are “made” fabric from my smaller scraps. Both Bonnie Hunter and Victoria Findlay Wolfe “make” fabric in this way. Along the way I began adding in some novelty fabrics to sprinkle throughout the quilt.
I used the Companion Angle ruler to cut the flying geese—but in a novel way to get the top flat edge—which I learned from Bonnie Hunter while making one of her mystery quilts—the Italian-inspired one I think, Allietore. I used the Easy Angle ruler for the flying geese small triangles. And all pieces were cut from 2-inch strips.
I’ve got the cutest backing for this quilt, and I can’t wait to longarm quilt it. That day is coming up fast now. I’m not sure what I’ll use for binding yet. I might use either the sashing or the backing fabric to bind. The quilt has not told me what it wants yet.
