Change of Seasons

The last few weeks I have been canning.  I have canned tomato juice, whole tomatoes, pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes and salsa.  I am so ready to go from canning season to sewing season.
Salsa

Here are projects I have been sewing when time permits.  I have three strippie tops done.  You can find this cute quilt pattern at Mary Quilts.  You can also find lots of other free patterns at Mary Quilts.

 Two of the strippie quilts are alike because I had enough fabric to make two.  One of them will be giving to the hospital gift shop.

I joined Prairie  Moon Quilts 350 blocks.  I wanted to see how many blocks I make and what better way to keep track.  Since yesterday was the last day I finished these 4 blocks to make my August total of 15.    This is a UFO that I am going to try and finish in September.  I did already make one quilt using these same fabrics and patten.  The rest of these blocks need to find a good home.

I did sew a few Rainbow Block Challenge 2014.   The house on the left is a very pale green.  I even found time to make an orang house.  I hope you have time to go and see what everyone else has been making with their rainbow colors.

    I think a lot of quilters are saying that - end of canning season please. I love Mary Quilts site and the strippie pattern makes up fast and so different with color and fabric. Lovely blocks all lined up!

    I like to incorporate random extra quilt blocks into the backs of my quilts. Or, I put them in a box labeled "odds and ends" and pull from it for backs. Cute house blocks.

    Canning is a lot of work, homemade taste so much better than store bought. Cute strippie quilts.

    Canning is a LOT of work. I've made some of Mary's strippie quilts for grandchildren. They are great little charity quilts, too.
