Hello again! The whole month of July has come and gone - that's just incredible! It's been really busy both at home and at the shop; and suffice to say the month was full of both great joy and sorrow. There is much to be greatful for and we should not take tomorrow for granted.
This is definitely a pattern we'll keep around for a while:) More pics with other fantastic fabric combinations here.
Our One Million Pillowcase Challenge sewing event was July 17th. A special thank you to Jan and Linda - I couldn't have done it without you! To all the wonderful women who joined us that Saturday - thank you, thank you, thank you! We completed 132 pillowcases!
Thank you for helping make this such a successful sewing event, I've posted more pictures of our day here.The latter part of July was beautiful and I can't say I spent a whole lot of time in my sewing room...the weather was tooo nice for that. However, I did indulge in another one of my favorite activities - harvesting and putting away food for the
winter. It is one of the things I look forward to all year! There is always such a
sense of accomplishment as you watch the pantry get stocked up for the
winter...it's very rewarding work!
He does all the filleting for me - I know, I'm a lucky gal!
The fillets are sized down to fit in pint size canning jars, and the packing begins...
These are looking good! I need 18 for a canner load...we're half way there!
A few hours later the jars come out of the canner and we sit back and listen to the melodic "pop" of lids sealing on the jars. A sure sign all is airtight and ready for the pantry! We'll definitely be enjoying these later this year.
The weatherman is promising more sunny skies tomorrow...aren't we lucky! I'm off to sew, maybe I'll get that Frolic jelly roll project pieced before that sun arrives to tempt me out of my sewing room!
Have a great week and Happy Sewing!
