I was off work for the last week, busy doing things on the property. Here's what I did on my staycation!

I've been gone most of this week on a work trip. Time to get stuff done this weekend. Plus, I'm planning a personal quilting retreat staycation!

This is the last episode of Allie's story and the last episode of the book,  "Texas Tears, Texas Sunshine".

Making fruit butter, i.e., apple butter, is a great way to get started in canning and food preservation.

These are so handy and I really like how little space they take up when they are flattened.

Yes, I really did get this monstrosity of a quilt basted!

Quilt Progress:
Top is done
Backing is sewn together

Plans for the Weekend:
Starch & Iron back
Baste quilt

Some of my earliest episodes are about learning to do sourdough. Here are some websites that I have found to be helpful:

Farmhouse on Boone

Amy Bakes Bread

Completing my current quilt project has necessitated using a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler. These really haven't been around that long. I was an adult when the rotary cutter for fabric was first created. That makes me feel old!

One issue in my life I have never solved in nearly 70 years is underestimating how much time it's going to take me to get something done.
