I love the blocks and seeing them come together. The contrast between the colors and the black/white is fun. Smitty's face is perfect; kind of like mine with my first sip of coffee in the morning :-) piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-58848816167303265432018-05-24T04:31:19.483-07:002018-05-24T04:31:19.483-07:00After 5 years in Montana and not having access to ...After 5 years in Montana and not having access to 'fresh' strawberries, I'm back in North Carolina. Just in time to hit the strawberries. I have a ton of strawberry jam in the jars now, much to my family's delight. I like my jam a bit 'runny' so I can use it on toast and to top ice cream. Peaches are next!Judy H https://www.blogger.com/profile/13685822567236742303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-60685833951516645122018-05-24T02:01:37.135-07:002018-05-24T02:01:37.135-07:00Smitty=Pure Bliss !

I see why but think I might get messed up on this. I did google Rainbow Jubilee and was sent to many sites with quilt patterns very different from yours! Where did you get it? Thanks for help.<br />The jelly looks beautiful. If you saved some of your chive vinegar you could used that vinegar next year as the vinegar in the recipe.<br />I like canning--it makes me feel thrifty. But as I am at my cottage from May to November the canning season mainly occurs when I am here. We use well water from a community well and while it is "safe" it is full of minerals and a lot of iron so I am hesitant to use it in a recipe that calls for water. When I've processed jars with the water (using store-bought water as the ingredient) the glass looks cloudy. It can be washed off, but it worries me.<br />So glad you follow proper canning rules. Some people are very carefree and I'm leery of eating some of the canned goods I see around.Sandra Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100820913707798961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-43858873121159316732018-05-23T15:53:53.287-07:002018-05-23T15:53:53.287-07:00Can't imagine what chive jelly tastes like whe...Can't imagine what chive jelly tastes like when you taste the chive! It's fun to make jelly though. Last year I did my first ever canning. Grapefruit marmalade. I enjoyed the taste, but made way too much. This year I'm just juicing lemons and making wonderful lemonade when I can't find recipes to include it in dishes for meals.<br /><br />Your black and white plus color blocks are really pretty. I am having trouble figuring out how you put them together though since the center color parts seem to be in one piece? I have been making slap color blocks for RSC, it would be fun to do something like you did with those pieces.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.June Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417665719096002149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-51452702440848556822018-05-23T10:04:12.647-07:002018-05-23T10:04:12.647-07:00I love the looks of those jars of jelly--I used to...I love the looks of those jars of jelly--I used to make alot of jams and jelly and miss doing it--but I rarely use jelly and there is just me--soo!!<br />Love how your quilt is coming along and 4 legged fur help is always good-<br />(even if it really is the catnip they are after!!)<br />I got my work 'cut' out for me too on getting my OMG project finished by the 31st--we can do it --we can do it!!<br />enjoy, diQUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347815945554965185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-65322867673660220072018-05-23T09:59:06.918-07:002018-05-23T09:59:06.918-07:00That look on Smitty's face tho!!! lol!!!!That look on Smitty's face tho!!! lol!!!!Anne Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11547133073363228886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-39186667370946173032018-05-23T07:24:33.194-07:002018-05-23T07:24:33.194-07:00Love the rainbow strippy blocks, they are going to...Love the rainbow strippy blocks, they are going to make a fabulous quilt!Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.com
