I swore when I broke my knee cap that I would not can anything this year. Nothing. Nada. But then the tomatoes started ripening and no one came to pick them....So guess what I did? 16 quarts of tomatoes and 11 pints of salsa. Not all in one day mind you, but still.
My college kids are happy. My knee, not so much.
I took a hot second and stretched the crewel piece so I could fully finish it.
I love how it goes from wrinkled to smooth!
I also finished this piece from Stitched Stories
I can never remember the name of this kit, but it was a blast to stitch. (Full disclosure:Debbie gifted this to me after Fiber Talk interviewed her.) I have purchased another kit that I hope to start on my next camping trip.
And just to bore you a little more, I fully finished one of my Inchies pieces from Kathy Reese .I took a Dorset Button class through Sassy Jack's September Soiree 2022 . The Soiree was fun as was the little workshop. If you can't travel to retreats, but would like to meet some stitching friends, I highly recommend Kim Young's Soiree. I'll take some pictures of my swag and share them soon.

Hi Beth: Wow that is a load of tomatoes to process, and salsa too yummy in my tummy.
Love the piece you stretched; it is beautiful.
The bag is amazing, what a lovely gift.

I'm never bored reading your blog. That's a lot of tomatoes, enjoy eating your labours. Great stretching on your crewel work, my sentiments exactly regarding coffee, I love it. You're very clever, that's a great bag.
That is a huge amount of tomatoes, but at least they won’t be wasted!
Lovely work on the crewel too. And beautifully smooth LOL
Great job getting all those tomatoes canned - now go rest that knee! your finishing looks amazing, I especially love the inchies purse.
