6 oz. Semi Sweet Chocolate, chopped coarsely
2 tsp. Vegetable Oil
6 oz. White Chocolate
1/2 c. Peppermint Candy Canes, crushed
Directions
Line bottom of 9 inch square pan with non-stick aluminum foil, make sure there are no wrinkles
Melt Semi Sweet Chocolate and 1 tsp. of Oil in double boiler until melted
Pour melted Chocolate mixture into square pan tilting it around to make sure the entire pan is covered

Melt White Chocolate and 1 tsp. Oil in double boiler until melted

Wonder Clips
Binding actually is my least favorite part of quilting. Before I had my thumb repaired, it was very painful. Then I found Wonder Clips by Clover Company. I never pinned my binding and I choose to do a two inch binding, so pulling it tight and holding it in place was difficult.
The Wonder Clips are a great alternative to pins and are very strong so they hold the binding nice and tight. The clips are curved on the top and flat on the bottom. You can easily feed the binding past the pressed foot on the sewing machine if you sew the binding on by machine. Clover provides them in boxes of ten and fifty.
Christmas is coming, why not consider the fifty piece box and share with your fellow quilters. A ten piece box would make a great Secret Santa gift or just a treat for you. You could also put them on that Christmas Wish List you are making for your Hubby or significant other.
I highly recommend them!
