Our final day of the Holiday Progressive Dinner Party is hosted by Kim Diehl. Kim's seasonal collection is called "Farmstead Harvest" which will ship in April 2018.
Farmstead Harvest Collection
Favorite Christmas Memory
While
growing up, my parents made Christmas a really magical time of year. One of my
favorite memories as a little kid was driving home from grandma’s house on
Christmas Eve, when my dad suddenly exclaimed, “Look! I just saw Santa’s sleigh
and Rudolph fly behind those clouds!!” I spent the whole rest of the drive with
my nose pressed against the glass, fogging up the car window while I looked for
Santa.
Now that I’m all grown up and a nana
with two toddler grandies, I go all out to make things just as special for them;
this means lots of quilts, evergreens, sparkling lights, and yummy treats like
my Caramel Apple Cheesecake. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
And because I’m sure you’re all on
Santa’s “good” list, here’s an extra holiday gift from me to you – free
downloadable directions for this fun little Farmstead Game Board quilt, created
with my upcoming Farmstead Harvest collection.

To end this dessert course on a
REALLY sweet note, please share your favorite holiday treat with me between now
and Tuesday, December 12th. (See Giveaway Box below) I’ll randomly choose two winners and Santa will deliver
a signed copy of my Simple Harvest and Simple Christmas Tidings books to each
of you. Ho, ho, ho!!!

ReplyDeleteI love Kim Diehl's fabrics and projects!
ReplyDeleteWe love Christmas cookies and our favorite variety is called Cappuccino Flats. They come from the book BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS COOKIES FOR CHRISTMAS published in the mid-80s. It's still my favorite cookie book ever. I believe you can still find copies for sale online. I've seen that the recipe is posted online at Taste of Home as well.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is the peanut butter fudge my dad makes for me.

ReplyDeleteI love Kim's fabric, books and patterns! My favorite holiday treat is Prize Winning Fudge from the Farm Journal Handmade Candy cookbook. Thanks for the great giveaways!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I found my way to the Henry Glass & Co. blog from Facebook! I'll be spending some time going through all 8 days admiring the fabrics and taking note of the recipes. It was Kim Diehl's fabric that first caught my eye but the photo of her cheesecake was irresistible. Thanks for all the free pdf patterns too!
ReplyDeleteBest Christmas dessert was my Mom's "Frozen Pineapple" Dessert...jelly roll, crushed pineapple with whipped cream decorated with maraschino cherries. It was never meant to be frozen but that was how it was first served and we decided that we liked it best that way.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a dessert, but I love corn casserole. So easy and always a hit!
ReplyDeleteI make pralines using my mother-in-laws recipe. Pure sugar!
ReplyDeleteLove all you create! Thanks! Merry Christmas and a great year ahead making memories with your family too!

ReplyDeleteI love Kims fabric and patterns. Her colors are amazing
ReplyDeleteThe one treat that I have made forever is a big batch of Spritz cookies using my vintage Betty Crocker recipe book. My new holiday favorite that I made for Thanksgiving and will make again for Christmas is White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake. It's written for an Instant Pot, but I'm sure it can be adapted for the oven. https://tidbits-marci.com/pressure-cooker-white-chocolate-raspberry-cheesecake/print/1597/
ReplyDeleteIt's delish!!
Love the free pattern and the Cheesecake looks delicious. Thank you Kim!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun time for the Holidays. THanks for letting me enter my name. I get inspiration for blogs like this.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas dessert is Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting sprinkled with chopped pecans.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance! I love all things Kim Diehl!

ReplyDeleteI am using some of Kims fabrics at the moment and I just love them. I can think of nothing more lovely than her Christmas book and her Christmas fabrics. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy very most favorite Christmas Treat was to enjoy Mincemet Pie with my dad. I think after 22 years, I will do a mincemeat pie once again.
ReplyDeleteMy MILs recipe sugar cookie with powdered sugar is a favorite as well.
Frosted sugar cookies are a big hit at our house around Christmas :) Love your new fabric line. Thanks for sharing your recipes, too. You are a great cook in addition to being an amazing quilter and designer.

ReplyDeleteHenry Glass, you saved the best for last. Love Kim Diehl's fabrics and designs.
ReplyDeleteTo me it just isn't Christmas without decorating sugar cookies. My recipe which came from my Nana makes 12 dozen cookies. So there is lots to decorate. I really miss not having my son here to help me.
Give me more Kim Diehl! Love. Love. ❤️
ReplyDeleteJust love this progressive dinner and fabrics and quilts! Thank you and Merry Christmas to Kim Diehl and Henry Glass!

ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteFor 35 years, my family has painted Christmas cookies using egg yolk "paint" (they are baked after painting). It's been amazing to see how the kids have progressed from poking holes into the cookies and dabs of the paint to creating beautiful creations as they've grown thru the years.
ReplyDeleteI love Kim's books and patterns. She's really great.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is my homemade fudge. Thanks for the yummy recipe and the quilt pattern and thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of a certain popcorn that is made only at Christmas by one of the universities in Texas. It is kettle corn, drizzled with chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel. It has a distinctive taste. So good! I love Kim Diehl's designs, quilts, books and fabric!!
ReplyDeleteKim Diehl's fabrics are so warm feeling. The recipe for dessert sounds yummy, as is anything with Caramel. I love homemade fudge in December, but this recipe sounds like it would give it a run for its' money.
ReplyDeleteYour Caramel cheesecake looks delicious! Definitely going to try that recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe and the free pattern!! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteKim Diehl's fabric collections are some of my favourite. I love her eye for colour and design.

My favourite holiday treat are Nanaimo bars. I make them every Christmas! Here's a secret - they taste just as good out of the freezer and still frozen.
ReplyDeletelin.web.28 at gmail dot com
Chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Homemade caramels--dipped in chocolate, even better.
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecake sounds delicious. I love Spritz cookies, cheesecake, Mom's crumb cake, and Toll House Pie. Thanks for the great give-aways.
ReplyDeleteI love your books and your distinctive quilts. I would love a copy of your signed books.
ReplyDeletelewjacks@suddenlink.net
My favorite holiday treat is a dessert from the old Mike Roy cookbook--does anyone remember him? He was one of the original "celebrity chefs" and my mom listened to him on the radio. We called it "Christmas Salad" and she made it only once a year so it would be special. It involves sliced oranges, pineapple, canned cherries, and whipped cream, with lemon juice to cut the sweetness. It sounds sketchy but it is light and fruity and one of my favorite holiday treats. If my description hasn't put you off, feel free to email me and I'll send you a copy of the recipe!
ReplyDeleteCheesecake is my favorite treat. Love ones with salted caramel and I make a really silky marbled chocolate one too. I also love a good shortbread!
ReplyDeleteCheesecake is my favorite, especially at Christmas. I have most of Kim Diehl's books but not these two. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI love Kim Diehl's patterns and fabrics. All her fabric lines go so well together and you can pick them out without even looking at the salvages.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite treat is sugar cookies with red and green sprinkles! angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
ReplyDeleteWe don't do a lot of desserts at Christmas with all the turkey but I usually make my Mom's Gumdrop Cake and my husband's Grandmothers a Scotch cookies.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is fruitcake. My mother always made it and I like it. It's fun to make as well. Your over the top cheesecake looks spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the blog hop. Enjoy the holidays. angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
ReplyDeleteLove everything by Kim Diehl. My favorite Christmas treat is my Mom's shortbread cookies. She doesn't bake them anymore so I have to when I want them.
ReplyDeleteThe Caramel Apple Cheesecake looks sooooooo good. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter says it's not Christmas without Thumbprint cookies.

ReplyDeleteWow love her quilts and great fabric too.. happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteKim, your books and fabrics are amazing. Wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. My Christmas dessert memories include shortbread and Chinese Chews. Mom also used to make candied fruit and nut cake aged in cheesecloth soaked in rum and kept high in the cupboard. We could only eat small pieces because it was so rich. Wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteLove Kim and her designs. I love traditional decorated sugar cookies, it isn't Christmas without them.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is homemade turtles. These are a big hit and I make the caramel from scratch. 😋
ReplyDeleteI love the colors - my kinda colors!!

ReplyDeleteI like all the Christmas cookies and fudge!
ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
Kim, I LOVE your fabrics and designs. You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteFor my kids I make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Even at 33 and almost 31, if I'm not baking them, my daughter is. For my husband I would bake his mom's oatmeal raisin cookies. I just realized how empty baking will be within him to bake them for.
We must always have Nanaimo Bars...it’s a must.
ReplyDeleteThis year I’m loving Peanut Butter Rolo cookies!
ReplyDeleteFruitcake cookies. annamchannel@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLove everything you do! Loved your class too! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas treat is my aunt's Date Nut Billiegoat Cookies.....Yum
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas cookies of all kind's. Thank you so much for the chance. The fabric is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteDeb Lebherz.
I like fudge.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes pecan sandies for me and me alone. I also make cookies and peanut butter fudge. The books by Kim Diehl's books. Scrappy quilts are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe hubs makes black bottom pie for me at Christmas. I make special Italian cookies. Winning your books would be a wonderful Christmas gift to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what my favorite treat is, the only constants in my holiday baking is Toasted Pecan Clusters and pumpkin pie. Those are made for the special people in my life. I try other recipes every year looking for my favorite, but so far I think my favorite treat is a slice of fabric!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE being a gramma.....especially at Christmas....Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletemy fave holiday treats are my mom's cranberry nut bread and easy magic cookie bars or hello dollys.
ReplyDeleteLove all things Kim Diehl!
ReplyDeleteThat apple caramel cheesecake recipe sounds very yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI love yam casserole with the pecan/brown sugar topping. It's like a dessert pie without the crust and good warm or cold. I always look forward to making it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cheesecake recipe. I have got to try that...SOON!
Suger cookies yum love this fabric... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI loved Mom's shortbread "candy cane" cookies but she always made divinity too which was wonderful. Thanks for this and I can't wait for your other new book with the Simple Whatnots to come out too!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your game board quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in the fabric, and that quilt is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!! Joy to the world!

ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
I love my sisters custard pie. she only makes it on thanksgiving, Christmas and easter. usually she will make a whole one for me to take home with my family.
ReplyDeleteLove those Snowball cookies. The ones that have pecans in them, you roll them in a ball and bake. When cool, roll in powdered sugar. Unfortunately, I could eat a dozen in one sitting, without even trying!
ReplyDeleteThe Caramel Apple cheesecake - yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love my mom's fudge. It is so creamy and delicious. It would be dangerous if she made it more than once a year.
ReplyDeleteWhite bark with almonds. Yummmm!
ReplyDeleteJoy to the world! Peace on Earth! Food AND fabric....how great is that!!
ReplyDeletemy sisters custard pie
