Quilt News from the valley!
Where Yakima corn is plentiful and the weather says summer!
 
Last weekend we took a mini vacation to Mossy Rock, Washington which is south of Mt Rainier, north of Mt St Helens and east of I-5. The weather was superb for sight seeing. Friends had invited us for a bar-be-que along the Chehalis River, can't say no to that.

And a few days later I finished the backing in yellow calico for my This and That Sampler quilt top, approx 48" x 42". Next week we'll take a drive to Front Porch Quilts in Buckley, Washington to get it machine quilted, yey! 
 
I also visited the Maple Valley Quilt Guild for the first time last week and I'm going to officially become a member. That's how you know when you're really 'plugged in', when you get your quilt guild membership. Happy days!

Today I'm making cherry jam, a few jars at a time. In a day or two I'll make up some blackberry jam.
Do you do any summer canning?

That is the quilt news from my kitchen to yours, I hope you're enjoying summer and finding time for projects!

Remembering to be thankful and I'll be by to visit!
