Guild to display quilts at Allegheny Valley Hospital, July 2007
Our guild will be displaying quilts at Allegheny Valley Hospital during the month of July 2007. There are 2 hallways with room for hanging quilts with a maximum length of 4 feet. All walls have hooks for hanging, so please provide quilts that are ready to hang on hooks. (Hooks are placed 3 feet apart). Quilts are due at the June 2007 Meeting. Please include a brief summary of the quilt of your inspiration. Also please write 'NOT FOR SALE' if you're not selling your quilt since many items displayed at the hospital are sold in the gift store.

Topping:
|
Sift flour into bowl and rub in butter with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix to form a firm dough. Press dough into well greased 9" square pan. Prick with a fork. Bake at 375oF for 20 min., until lightly golden. Cool completely in pan. To make the topping place the butter, sugar, and condensed milk in a nonstick sauce pan and cook over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for 4-5 min. until the caramel is pale golden and thick and is coming away from the sides of the pan. Pour over the shortbread base and let cool. When the caramel topping is firm, melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler. Spread the melted chocolate over the topping, set aside in a cool place, then cut the shortbread into squares or bars to serve. From the kitchen of Christy H.
