Did you know that the Sunchoke, also known as the Jerusalem Artichoke, is a species of sunflower native to the United States and North America?  The flowers resemble a garden sunflower, while the tuber is used as a root vegetable … and they’re in season right now!  Look for them in your local health food store.  Their flavor is slightly nutty and sweet and they are nutritious, too. Rich in minerals such as potassium, try this roasted sunchoke recipe with some garlic, olive oil, and seasoning to add something different to your meal repertoire!

Or wash well and slice for a crunchy raw addition to your next salad!

It’s the dawning of a new year and although the chill of Winter may have you shivering, perhaps it’s a good time to warm up and Lean Toward the Sun with Block 9, the final block in our AMB Mystery Block of the Month!   As we greet the brand new year ahead with optimism, just as the mighty Sunflower in your garden tilts toward the warmth and radiance of the sun, may this serve as a reminder to look on the bright side and head towards the light.  If you are following along with either of our colorways, the Quilts for Kids version is lighter in color, picking up on the cheeriness of a springtime palette, while the Quilts of Valor version displays the rich tones of a late summer, early autumn palette. We can’t wait to see what you choose to do with your block!
