Happy Monday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

To start your week off, here’s a few goodies for you!

I found this cute tutorial on making fabric folders. These make great gifts for everyone not just teachers!

Recently I ordered myself a cast iron skillet. I have completely fallen in love with Sophie Hudson and Melanie Shankel’s Big Boo Cast podcast. In one of the episodes, they discuss how Sophie makes filet mignon in her cast iron skillet and how yummy it is. We tried it last night and boy, was it good! Sophie heats up the skillet to very hot then adds in some olive oil and butter. She sears each filet for 2 mins per side then transfers the whole skillet to the oven. We kept ours in the oven for about 4-5 minutes for a nice medium. Oh so good. Here’s the skillet I bought. Also here’s 21 skillet recipes that Amanda found for me to try.

Next up is an article from the Huff Post on the real reason introverts dread small talk. I think many of us quilters categorize ourselves as introverts so read on…
