This collection is absolutely irresistible.  I loved making up this quilted drawstring back pack and I have a special little someone in mind to gift it to later this year.

  1. Okay, you got me--I had to look up spotted dick since I had no clue what it was. Very different from "pudding" here in the US. I've never been much of a fan of pudding but I do like anything chocolate so I suppose chocolate pudding was my favorite.

    School pudding? I hated pudding as a kid because Mom always seemed to make tapioca and I could not abide by those little eyes in it. Still can't. Now, the pudding I really like is lemon meringue pie pudding. Mmmm. Thanks for the tutorial and chance to win.

  53. When I was in elementary school in Wichita, Kansas back in the 50s there was no hot lunch at school. Many kids went home for lunch & the rest brought their own lunch in a lunch pail. My mother made tapioca & other puddings sometimes (I have never heard of Spotted Dick-will have to look that up). I think tapioca may have been my favorite.
