I am in an exchange with my Treadle On group (people powered sewing machines). This exchange is for Canning Jars, all made on either a treadle or a hand crank sewing machine. I can only send in 4 sets of Canning Jars, but, I've made 5 sets of Canning Jars. Now to figure out which sets to send in. I did make extra's for me to keep. A set is 6 blocks in this exchange.
I know I'm sending in the Asparagus and the Pickle blocks (I have more of each of them). I'm trying to decide if I should keep the Blueberries, the Peas or the Carrots. The other two blocks will be sent in. Hmmm.....decisions.
I used 4 different machines for the 5 blocks.

Your blocks look great. I think I like the blueberries the best followed by the peas and carrots. Then the pickles with the asparagus last. I think I'm swayed a bit though as my favourite colours are deep blues and greens.
ReplyDeleteI like these set on the black - makes them pop. How did the blueberries get in with all the vegies?
ReplyDeleteI made carrots and Brussels sprouts! Or at least I am in the process of making them - LOL
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking blocks! So great to have that many working machines to sew with!
ReplyDeleteI love your canning jar blocks, and I certainly always love being reminded that you made them on one of your antique machines. That is so wonderful! I made several bug jar quilts many years ago. I still love them!
ReplyDeleteI really hope I get some of your peas and pickles!
ReplyDeleteBlueberries made on my namesake, and their name begins with B too !!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you buy your machines as handcranks or did you convert them yourself? I'd like to convert my electric Spartan to a handcrank.
