It's Canning Season . . .

and this year, between working on Martha and all the other fun things I do, this is what I have been making!!


A friend was out and about this past week and saw a big patch of blackberries and pulled over two he side of the road, got out and picked a couple of gallons of the gorgeous berries!!  They grow wild everywhere here!!


She just dropped by on her way home and gave me a gallon of berries!!  This is what I made!!  and freshly picked berries made the most exquisite jam!!  Thank you, Kim!!


Ha! Ha!  I have already given most of it away or slathered it on buttered toast!!  Yummm!!

Enjoying the Summer!!

I have been quite busy this summer, mostly quilting customer quilts ~





This scrappy quilt is one of my very favorites!!


And I love Laurel Burch, so this one was fun to work on!!






But then I needed some sewing time and so I decided to dive into one of my Kaffe Fassett bins and started playing with some blocks.  I started out making some 25-patch blocks . . .


 and then decided to try a scrappy round the world using the gridded iron-on interfacing!!


Plus I have been doing a bit of sorting and straightening in both Martha's Cottage and in my sewing room!!  Feels good!!
