made ginger pear preserves today

the battery went dead on my camera, so.... no picture...yet..  also have mom's apple pie in a jar jam, apple pie filling, apple jelly, mmmm... apple preserves, more pears in syrup..
 I did get a picture of the first quilt that I did the quilting myself... it was the leftover stars lap quilt (the leftover part of the large stars quilt).  You can kind of see my flowers and stars... very wobbly... I didn't realize I was supposed to let the feed dogs down, so I was twisting and turning the quilt as I went..... silly, silly...

you can also see how wonky it is... started squaring up those tiny half square triangles, and decided......eh, they're close enough...but they weren't .... this is one of my lessons learned quilts.... I really like it despite it's flaws..... this is my ball park quilt....
...speaking of ball park..... my son's team has lost all their games so far... the last one, they players were so muddy...terrible field conditions....you couldn't even read the numbers on some of the jerseys... white shirts, light silver pants.... glad they decided that the coaches were going to wash the uniforms this year... I still had cleats, socks, girdle, underarmor & ankle braces to wash the mud out of....
