Year of Making Stuff: Week 27

Posted under books, food, quilts, Year of Making Stuff Comments Off

When peaches are in and ripe, I will eat them with every meal.  However the season is short, and come winter I will be craving my favorite fruit.  Today I peeled, sliced and mixed up 18 cups of peach pie filling.  Portioned out into individual freezer bags, I have enough for three pies this winter, with a few left over for instant snacking.  Come winter, I’m set.  Week 27?  Making pie filling. Not exactly instant gratification, but talk to me again in January.

I have also been sewing my tiny pieces together, and out of 320 blocks to make, I have 230 done.  I am running out of 1 1/2 inch pieces though and may not have enough fabric to finish without introducing something additional.

The rest of this Sunday afternoon will be spent reading about Bananas.

Really.
