Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day sixty-seven of that project.

This quilt block shows a brown building with a roof in the shape of a bread loaf. The sign on the front reads, — Click To Enlarge

Here we have a bakery. When my husband was just a little boy in 1957, his parents had a bakery in Granby.

Everyone loved their baked goods. They made the best raised glazed donuts.

My husband learned from them, and for all the years our children were growing up, we had a tradition of making donuts on Christmas Eve. Dozens of them. Then everyone had donuts for Christmas.

My father-in-law was a baker for Hostess back in the day when they made authentic baked goods. He was, in fact, on the bakery floor the day that the first Twinkie pans came in. He said they were terrific back then: made with sponge cake and sweetened whipped cream. And, of course, served fresh in the Hostess Bake Shops.

My in-laws were only in the bakery business for a short time. My mother-in-law also had four little children to look after, and it became too much when her husband had to leave for the day for a day job too.

This is a fond memory for people lucky enough to eat there. I wish I had a donut right now.
