Today I decided to pull out my dehydrator and see if I could turn some of my tomatoes
Into yummy semi dried ones
So I spent about 15 carefully slicing all the little tomatoes
And layering them on the shelves
About six hours later I got this little jar of semi dried tomatoes
I’ve added good quality olive oil and some basil
I’ll leave it for a week in the fridge so the flavours can mix and then we will see how they taste
If they’re a success I’ll process more and can them so they last longer
I finally took my scrappy quilt top to the quilt shop in kooweerup
And it will be quilted in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile I’ll keep working on my Athena blanket
It’s a good thing I use the stitch markers to mark the pattern repeat
Because I almost got my stitches in the wrong spots
You have to be careful to get the single crochet right after the double as sometimes it hides
Good thing I know what I’m like and took precautions against my bad eyes lol
You have someone else that does quilting for you?? F wants one too. She loves patchworking and hates quilting. Your tomatoes look fabulous - we should try some of those. F dries hers to cardboard and then they aren't much fun to eat i imagine. They go into cooked stuff. The Athena is looking fabulous. Stitchmarkers like wow ...we wondered what they were. You have such great ideas/bits of kit.
ReplyDeleteThe lady at the quilt shop does it on a big quilting machine
DeleteShe will do a pretty pattern which I can’t do. I do boring stitch in the ditch quilting
At first glance I thought they were those funny little things we used to hang around the stem of a wine glass so we know whose was whose.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is going to be quite stunning when it’s finished - and reversible too by the look of it.
No not reversible. But it’s nice and neat so that’s nice
DeleteI remember the wine glass bling. They were so pretty
The dried tomatoes are interesting. Do let us know what they taste like.... to matoesš¤£ and how you use them.
ReplyDeleteI’ll definitely let you know. I love using them in salads especially in winter when tomatoes are expensive and not very nice
