Well.....I am done making blueberry jam for this year! Now the anxious wait starts. I know the jam will set, cause it is way thicker than when I took out of hot bath but ya never know. The first batch yielded 7 1/2 pints (half of the berries for this batch came from our little patch in the back yard) and the second 3 pints. I am very pleased. :-)
Now I need to go upstairs and start quilting the sample for the WOW classes I will be teaching up in Marquette the last weekend of September. It is all pin basted and ready to go, so all I need to do is get up there and start quilting. I still need to cut out and do the bias binding. Then on Saturday we will drive up to Marquette, maybe take the long way around through Lanse, along Lake Superior. Have to see how I feel Saturday morning. I also need to put together the supply list for the class.
I got to talk to Victoria yesterday, so sweet. We always talk about what we will do when she comes this winter. We will be making raspberry jam this winter. I am hoping the township decides to flood the ice skating pond at the bottom of Ski Hill Road. Last year they didn't because they said it cost too much. Give me a break...my water bill is only $25/month and I am a water pig. Maybe have to start bugging them and get other people to do so also.
Well.....time to go upstairs. Boy! I sure do miss my camera! That is another thing I will be getting back on Saturday, my camera. I still cannot believe I left it up there. Duh....
Happy Trails

Mmmm, blueberries! I just love them. We can't seem to grow them in my area. I have tried to plant them twice. No luck. Your jam sounds great! Yummy!!!!!
A drive along the lake sounds nice too! I love Lake Superior.
Sounds delicious! I'm working on apple butter today. I've never canned before, so wish me luck!
The jam sounds delicious!! And the silk paper in the previous post sounds so neat! Congrats on the classes too.
