Country vs. City

Where do city people think food comes from???

Last Fri. I had another interruption by having to go pick up apples my neighbor gathered for me. Every year I see these:

 

just thrown away so I got up my nerve and asked him if I could pick up the fallen apples. He said he throws out the ones that fall on the ground and that I could come and pick them up. Lar called, yes while I was sewing, and went to pick up the apples. Thankfully the neighbor had already picked up the apples and so I re-boxed them and brought them home.

 

While I was cleaning up the apples (Sunday) Lar said they looked spoiled….. I said ‘What do you think they put in the cans from the store?’ Really, need I ask?

 

Sunday we went to a car show.

While at the show I got a bowl of Haluski. Do you know the Haluski recipe? I’m sure it is not made with sauerkraut.

I see to use cabbage NOT sauerkraut.

 What a disappointment.

 

 

Finally at 2 o’clock  in the afternoon I started making applesauce. By 8:30 I had everything washed up and 29 pints of applesauce!

 

The neighbor also gave me these:

A while back Deby of www.so-sew-easy.com hosted a surprise swap. I could not show you what I sent Sandy but I can now tell you I sent her a pincushion, an ornament and some other goodies. She made me a wonderful bag, sent some fabric, and other goodies. Thankyou Sandy!

 

I want to teach myself quilted feathers and thought this would be a good starter.

 

Does this ever happen to you? You take the time and effort to make something that’s supposed to be fast and easy (which it was.)

The more I looked at this the more I absolutely HATED the middle fabric choice so I ripped out the center and am working on putting another color in there.
Being facetious here: I LOVE Y seams.

After my practice piece I am planning on quilting feathers in this. I am not sure what to quilt in the stars though. Any thoughts?

*Reminder*: I am still taking guesses on the bobbins in previous post!
(I will be doing so until I trade them in at Hoover's.)

 

When adding up for my binding I hate having to take the time to find a pencil and paper. Because my Frixion pen is always handy I add the side measurements on my ironing board knowing they will disappear the next time I iron.
I find the  total and sew my binding together.
