One week we spent putting creamed corn, cut corn kernels, and corn on the cob in the freezer. Now we have a full freezer. Putting up corn is HARD work, but oh, so worth it! during the winter months.
The past two weeks my daughters and I have been working on piecing together two quilt tops--one for each of them. These are going to work up quite nicely when we are finished.
Here is a sample of Leah's quilt squares. These are made using 5 inch squares of red fabric with a center square of white, embroidered in red. The girls made these embroidered squares as they learned to embroider. This technique is called *red work* and was quite common many years ago.
This is a sample from Lerah's quilt squares. When all the squares are made, we will sash them with white fabric. I will show each quilt top when it is finished.
This is a 9 patch block quilt square, named because it consists of 9 squares sewn together.
I have also been busy making gifts for baby showers and wedding showers--a total of about 10 in all, plus we have also had a birthday in the extended family. I will try to show an easy baby shower gift you can make at home soon.
