August NewFo



August has been the busiest month ever!  The garden has been producing so fast we can barely keep up with it.  And with the Hexie Blog Hop I had to get busy and make a few projects which also gave me a head start on Christmas gifts.  So today for the 2013 NewFo Challenge I have lots of photo's to share. 




I am almost finished with this Schnibbles Quilt called Canasta.  I made it out of 30's reproduction fabrics and the baskets blocks are 5 1/2 inches.  It took me a lot longer than I thought it would.  I love it though.


My Grand daughter Fiona has been working on this teddy bear for several weeks.  She picked out the fabric and made it mostly herself.  I am so proud of her and hope she continues to have the desire to sew and create.  Fiona is 11 and the oldest of my 8 grand kids.  


Garden Produce

Bottled Banana Squash for Pies, went into the freezer.



This quilt is for Amy my niece.  She lives in Idaho.  My mom and I went to visit them early August and she picked out the fabric and pattern.

More Canning...Mustard Relish and Pepper Relish, Pickles, Apple Pie Filling, Pasta Sauce, BBQ Sauce, you get the picture.

I wish every month was this productive.  Thanks for stopping by.  Vickie

  5. Wow and Wow! Canning to boot! I would love to can veggies. I am afraid I would poison my family. The grandma in law that knew how to do this is long gone. She is truly missed for many reasons! Great Projects!
