Tuesday I didn't get to sew at all but I did do some canning. I ended up with a bunch of potatoes that I was afraid would ruin so I decided to can some of them. I peeled some and canned 8 pints.
Then I cut up more of them but left the peel on. I canned 7 pints of these. These are great canned as they are fully cooked so you just open, warm them up and throw some butter or cheese on them or even mash them. Soooo handy and quick!
Wednesday I canned a little more and got lots of sewing done. I canned 7 quarts of pinto beans! These will not last long as my family loves them.
Now to show you ALL of the sewing that I got done!!! I am proud! LOL! Here is a photo of my machine table. I just grabbed and sewed whatever was there on the machine table while I was watching the canner to make sure the pressure gauge stayed in the right place.
Are you ready??? LOL! I sewed...
16 Windmill blocks...
A big stack of half-square triangles that go in my Jacob's Ladder. I didn't count them but there is a bunch of them.
12 String blocks...
42 - 4 Patches. These are not for any certain project, I will just put them back and use them in something later. I just had a bunch of 2" squares by my machine so I just sewed them together. :)
10 Churn Dash blocks...
And....I also worked on a few things in my tray. I did a few more hexies and a few Orange Peels...
It felt great to get all of that sewing done!
This is my Spring wreath that hangs on my front door. You have to look real close and you will see a bird nest.
A bird built a nest in my wreath and it has eggs in it. Shew...now every time you open the door the bird scares the crap out of you! LOL! She flies in your face! Of all places, she had to built it in the wreath on my front door! :(
All for now...I hope to get lots more sewing done today!

Love the wreath on the door, what a hoot that the bird put its nest there! Churn Dash is my next quilting project.
oh wow, a bird nest on your door - maybe you could carefully move the nest and hang it on the wall next to the door so you don't have to be so careful opening and closing the door? You sure got a lot of sewing done and canning. I don't know why I have never canned potatoes - do you do pressure canner or boiling water bath?
Birds can pick the worst places to build a nest LOL. Your canned goods look lovely.
I have been sewing for work a lot. But lately have been itching to do some quilting. I need to get out one of my already started projects, but it would be so much more fun to start a new quilt! :O)
Wow, Kristie--you are amazing! I am so impressed with your productivity!
The canned goods look great, and you really did sew up a storm.
I think I only have 50 windmill blocks now. Have you decided how many you will make?
BTW, I love that Kim Diehl green in the churn dash on top of the stack.
Mighty impressive! You had a VERY productive day! Love it all. I canned beans a million years ago, but have never done potatoes. They would be great on skewers when you make shish kabobs too! I applaud you!
Wow, you were productive! You make me look like such a slacker. ;-)
