Like WOW dude!
Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 10:10AM Check out this quilt back! It’s TOTALLY awesome! One of my customers brought me a tshirt quilt and wasn’t sure about a backing for it, so I suggested she tie dye some Moda muslin, and she did!
;)
;)
Actually I think she did four of them, but this was the winning choice. I absolutely love this! What could be more perfect for a tshirt quilt!
Jim and I planned to make sausage today, but I picked eight colander bowls full of blackberries off of our bushes this morning… that’s probably about eight gallons I guess.
;)
Looks like I’ll be spending the day steam juicing them, then canning the juice, and we’ll probably make either jelly or wine with the juice later on in the year… when it’s not 300 degrees outside.

That backing if fabulous!
Steam juicer is on my want list for this season. I'm curious how much juice you will get with that many berries.
See what brights and bold will do for you! You're learning to love them also!
I really like that. I have some tye dyed type fabric, that I'm planning something with.
Great!
Love the backing! Did she say if it was hard to do?
I freeze a lot of my excess blackberries on cookie sheets then bag them to use in smoothies or pies later on. Hope you have the recipe for blackberry pie (cold) using jello and graham cracker crust!
Oh those blackberries look scrumptious! I vote for blackberry wine! ----I was wondering just how color fast the tie dye muslin backing will be? I am assuming it is now that I think about it as she must of rinsed it a lot after the dye baths. I think the backing is just perfect for a T shirt quilt.
This would work with a lot of teenager quilts too I bet.
I'm so jealous you aren't so hot you still have fruit. The raccoons got all our fruit this year while it was still hard and green on the trees. We lost all our plums, peaches, pears and blackberries. I am fortunately getting figs right now. We've had to pay a $200 water bill to get them, though. No measureable rain for almost a year now. We had almost an inch the other night,but it was followed by 40 mph gusting winds that dried it right out. It's getting scary now. No farmers are able to grow anything. Down here we're in extreme drought, everywhere else is flooded out.. I don't know who's growing the food.
Great fabric. Those blackberries sure look yummy.
