What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. The great tomato extravacanza has come to an end. Since I did no canning last year, the empty jars have been stacking up to an alarming height. It was good to put some of them back to work. When all was finished, there were 10-1/2 quarts of tomato sauce and 7 pints of salsa. That should hold us for a while.

Now I need to decide how ...

Good morning, my friends. There's not much to tell you today. I spent a good part of the day in tomato purgatory. By the time I was finished, I had five quarts of pasta sauce and 3 pints of salsa. There are also partial jars of each stashed in the refrigerator. I'll fill those today.

Good morning, my friends. It's the day I celebrate and dread all at the same time. Yesterday I picked up 40 lbs. of tomatoes from our CSA farmers. Wanna see what 40 lbs. of tomatoes looks like?

Good morning, my friends, although I'm almost too late to say "good morning." We were up and out early to do some running around. Mike and I left in separate cars, but met up at the McDonald's in town for our beloved Egg McMuffins. Then, he had a doctor's appointment (nothing serious), and I did a short grocery shopping trip to pick up the items I'd need for pasta sauce. After that, I headed to the farmers' to pick up 40 lbs. of beautiful Roma tomatoes. You're going to make a lovely pasta sauce, my ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a new week. Are you feeling refreshed? We had a quiet but busy week last week. We were both feeling a little rickety last night. Aside from the usual household chores and sewing, I pulled a bucket of weeds. That means lots of sitting down and getting up again, which is at least as tiring as the task itself. Mike kindly installed drip irrigation for the dahlias and the hanging petunia baskets. It occurred to me that someone would need to be around to water the dahlias when we leave on our September trip ...

There was plenty accomplished yesterday, but nothing at the sewing machine. The only sewing I accomplished consisted of slow-stitching the name and place for the latest Shop Hop quilt. This one is from our visit to Sedona a couple of years ago, when we stopped off in nearby Cottonwood to see Quilter's Corners and Bernina Too. Sadie stitched along with me.

Earlier in the morning, I'd visited the Beaverton farmers market with Erik and Mae. I scored most everything I wanted, but no carrots, and they were ...

 It was a busy day yesterday with plenty on the agenda. As much fun as it was, I'm looking forward to a quiet day at home today. The rain has gone for the day, at least. I want to get out and fill the birdfeeders and then just bask in the sunshine for a bit. It's chilly, so the "basking" will be short-lived.

My day started with slow stitching. I was able to finish off the quilt block on the barn, and I stitched a little more of the barn. Today I'll focus on the tree and ...

Yesterday I spent the whole live-long day in the kitchen. I was a tired pup when I was finished. Usually, I spread the pasta sauce over two days, but I did all of it yesterday. It made for a lot of time on my feet. When I was finished, I had nine quarts of deliciousness.

The day didn't go exactly as planned yesterday, but it was so nice to take another day off from canning. As I mentioned, Mike and I made a trip into town. We first stopped off at Working Hands Farm to pick up 40 pounds of tomatoes. They grow the most beautiful tomatoes. Here's one box of 20 pounds. And there's another just like it.

The tomatoes are going to get turned into pasta sauce and salsa, and ...

There isn't much to say about yesterday. It was a driving around and grocery shopping day. It was 2:00 p.m. by the time I got home. I had some lunch, and then took a cue from Sadie. The two of us had a nice afternoon nap together.
