Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a deep, large frying pan over high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, turning frequently, for 4–5 minutes or until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining oil, onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes or until lightly golden. Add the tomato paste and balsamic vinegar, stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock, tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, stir to combine and bring to the boil. Add the meatballs and simmer for 15–20 minutes or until the sauce is reduced and the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, place the spaghetti in a large saucepan of salted boiling water and cook for 8–10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and serve the spaghetti topped with the meatballs, basil leaves and parmesan. Serves 4–6.
Place the breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes or until the milk is absorbed. Add the beef and pork mince, eggs, garlic, sage, salt and pepper and mix well to combine. Using wet hands, roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls.

Divide the mixture between 8 x ⅓-cup-capacity (80ml) popsicle moulds. Divide the baby cucumbers between the moulds and freeze for 1 hour. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for a further 2–3 hours or until frozen. Makes 8.
+ You can find agave syrup (nectar) in the health food aisle of some supermarkets and in health food stores.
Tags: chilled desserts, cucumber, dairy-free, fresh and light, gluten-free, popsicles, summer desserts,
Using a fine sieve, strain the mixture and discard the pulp to create approximately ¼ cup (60ml) of liquid. Place the liquid in a medium jug, add the agave, lime juice, mint and water and whisk to combine.

Installing a new skylight can be done at any time. The skylight below was put in while we were doing a roof overlay.
First we removed the shingles and revealed the plywood so that we could cut out the hole in the roof. Second we built and installed a box for the sklight to sit on and then put tarpaper on the bare roof and skylight box. Third we installed the new shingles around the sklight curb (box) and put metal flashing on all sides of the skylight. Last of all we set the new skylight on top of the box (now waterproofed) and secure it.
The skylight shown above is very standard size (2'x4') and it is installed in the most common position. Some prefer them to be placed horizontally instead of vertically like the one shown. Some other common skylight sizes are 2'x2', 2'x6' and 4'x4'.
Sorry for dropping off the face of the blogosphere this last week - thanks to those of you who wrote to me with your concern :) I am indeed A-OK, just spent a lot of time enjoying our early summer weather here in Florida, before the inevitable 90 degree temperatures set in. Bike riding has become a new favorite activity of the munchkin's, now that he's physically gotten the hang of riding his new big boy bike. To make it up to you, my wonderful readers, I've got a new block tutorial for you :)
This year, I'm having a lot of fun with the Stash Trad bee. It's a group of amazingly talented quilters who have a love for messing with traditional blocks with a modern twist. Lee made us a fabulously apropos button for the bee, with that very motto in mind.
April is my turn in the group, and I waffled a lot this month, thinking about what to ask the girls to make for me, and I kept coming back to the Rolling Stone block, which dates as far back as 1898, credited as being listed in the Ladies' Art Company Catalog.
Much as I like the block, I wanted to do something a little different with it, so I fooled around with the color placement, using four colors rather than two and creating an octogon or ring in the center of the block. Then, I decided that I wanted to do something really colorful, so I played around in Illustrator until I came up with this fun layout:
After some trial and error, I found that paper piecing the corner units of each block is the most accurate way to piece these blocks, so I've created my first paper piecing template. It's hand-drawn because Illustrator and I couldn't seem to see eye-to-eye, but this template works great for this block. And if you've never paper pieced, don't worry! This is super easy-peasy paper piecing, I promise it will be painless :)
This block tutorial is written for using one neutral color as well as three additional contrasting colors. In my block, I used warm colors for color A, B, and C, but I think a scrappy version of this block would also be amazing.
All seams are a scant 1/4" unless otherwise noted. All paper piecing done with a 1.5mm stitch length.
1. Print four copies of the Radiant Ring Template for each block you're making. Cut your fabric, and keep in mind that you'll be using the 3.5" x 5.5" rectangles are used for paper piecing. This size worked nicely for me when I was piecing, but you may want to make adjustments after your first block.
2. Let's get the paper piecing out of the way. If you've paper pieced before, this is going to be a breeze, and if you haven't, that's okay, too, I'm going to make this as simple as possible. We're going to be making the four corner units using one template each. First, place one neutral 5" square right side out on the back of template, making sure that your square covers the entire template square. Pin in place, in the center.
3. Next, take one of your yellow 3.5" x 5.5" rectangles and line up the long side side so that approximately 1/4" overlaps over the seam line for part A of the template, making sure that the right side of the fabric face down onto the paper. Pin in place, if necessary, and stitch in place. Be sure to stitch into the seam allowance to lock the fabric in place.
4. Finger press your yellow fabric in place then press with a hot dry iron. Flip your yellow fabric back and trim the excess neutral fabric to approximately 1/4" or so beyond the seam. Don't worry about trimming the excess yellow fabric yet.
5. Next, flip your template back over so the template faces you. Take another of your yellow 3.5" x 5.5" rectangles and line up the long side side, with the right side of the fabric face down onto the paper, so that approximately 1/4" overlaps over the seam line for part B of the template, which is directly across from part A. Pin in place, if necessary, and stitch in place. Again, be sure to stitch into the seam allowance to lock the fabric in place.
7. Flip your template back over so the template faces you again. Take one of your red 3.5" x 5.5" rectangles and line up the long side side, with the right side of the fabric face down onto the paper, so that approximately 1/4" overlaps over the seam line for part D of the template.
Pin in place, if necessary, and stitch in place. Again, be sure to stitch into the seam allowance to lock the fabric in place. Press your seam open and bring your finished template over to your cutting table.
Disregard the dotted line and trim all the way around the solid black square line of the template, and voila! A simple paper pieced square in square! Marvel at your paper piecing prowess for a moment, and then move on to the next step ;)
8. Next, let's build the other subunits for this block. Take the four 2.5" x 4.5" neutral rectangles and pair each one with a red rectangle of the same size. Seam each pair together and press seams open.
Then, remove the paper from the back of your corner subunits, which should be fairly simple. Your stitches perforated the paper, so simply fold back your paper and pull. Repeat for all subunits. Stitch each row of three together, then stitch the three rows together, and voila! A finished gorgeous 12.5" block.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! If you make a Radiant Ring block, I sure would love to see it in my Flickr group, Stitching with Don't Call Me Betsy! Happy Monday :)
A note to the Stash Trad gang: Please make either a Warm or Cool block, using Kona Snow as your background color, and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
Um, Elizabeth? Have you been reading my mind? I worked on a couple of these blocks yesterday and decided last night that I wanted to use it in my next bee quilt. So glad you've done a tutorial for it so I have a place to send everyone! Can't wait to see what your bee members do with it!
Very nice, E! Thanks for the tutorial. And I'm with you--it's been too nice outside to spend too much time behind the sewing machine!
Great tutorial Elizabeth and so simple when you break it down I am always amazed at how straightforward these blocks are when they are explained otherwise I wouldn't have a clue! Thank you so much. Going to try one of them tonight! Fi
So cute and looks hard but once you broke it down, it is deceptively easy to put together- love it when that happens!
Great choice of block, Elizabeth! And as usual, you've done a great job with the tutorial, thank you for sharing!
I have been playing around with this block myself!! So glad you made a wonderful tute... the Eugene Modern Quilt Guild will be using it this month for our sampler!! Thanks a BUNDLE!
I just discovered your blog and thought you might like to see my take on your radiant ring block. I found the instructions in in Judy Hopkins book of blocks.
Thank you for leaving a comment for me! I appreciate each and every one of them and try to respond when time allows. Your comments totally brighten my day :)
Welcome! I'm Elizabeth, mom to a very busy nine year old boy and a one year old baby girl and I sew for my sanity. Let's get to quilting, shall we?
