Crass Commercial for the Kutztown Folk Festival

Crass Commercial for the Kutztown Folk Festival

June 2, 2008

Welcome!
This is the time of the year we start to really get serious
about plans for the Kutztown Folk Festival and the new
fabrics and gifts start arriving.

The 'Wizard of Oz' fabric is so pretty, the colors are just
perfect and the panels so versatile. On the web page for
the panels you can see pictures of the two tote bags we
have made from two of the panels and soon (maybe tomorrow,
if things go as planned) you will be able to see a
comforter made with the remainder of the panels. Plans are
also to have a child's sun dress from one of the prints and
a scrubs top at the festival.

One of the new gift items we received are pewter charms.
These are about 1/2" to 1" long and we use them as zipper
pulls on our zippered tote bags, makes it easier to grab
onto the zipper tab. These are on our "More Neat Gifts"
page.

When you make plans to come to the festival--notice I said
when and not if--be sure to visit the festival web site
www.kutztownfestival.com and download the discout admission
coupons. You can get 4 coupons on a download and kids
under 12 are free. If you live in the NYC area the Bieber
Bus Terminal adjoins the festival grounds and the buses run
every hour or half hour.

One of the things they used to make at the festival--years
and years ago-- is Potato Candy Pinwheels.

Here is our recipe:

Potato Candy Pinwheels

1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Crunchy Peanut Butter

Add powdered sugar and vanilla to mashed potato in small
amounts until mixture is the consistency of cookie batter
that can be easily rolled.

Roll out to approximately 1/4" thick.
Spread peanut butter evenly over rolled mashed potato and

carefully roll up, jelly roll style.
Chill 5 hours or overnight.
Slice into 1/4 or 1/2 inch pieces.
Served chilled

When you are at the festival you can answer that age old
question, since this is made with potatoes does it count as
a serving of vegetables?

Enjoy and happy quilting,
Marilyn
