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!
yay for your quilt going off to the quilter + some fun time away! I do not can but I do like making other tasty things - been trying a couple of different recipes for homemade 'ricotta' plus made good use of our pizza oven last week. Also on the agenda is some herb butter since the herb garden is full right now!
ReplyDeleteHerb butter is delicious and homemade ricotta sounds like an adventure.
ReplyDeleteAnd Say 'yes' to the pizza oven being put to good use.
I make jam and preserves, when there is enough fruit. This year the blackberries have dehydrated on the plants, but there are loads of plums. Congratulations on officially joining your quilt guild and on sending your lovely sampler off to be quilted.
