Putting up peaches

We were able to get a couple of boxes of Colorado Peaches this week. Colorado peaches are the best in the country, we think. Last night we canned 14 qts. and 4 pts. of jam. This morning, I
finished up with 6 more qts. It was a family project!

Emily put the peaches in the boiling water and timed it for us.

Jason sterilized the jars.

Jeffrey helped with the jam.

Beth's quilt top is finished!

Jason and I are up on the shed roof holding up the quilt top for the picture!

We started cutting strips on July 25. We started sewing on August 6. Yesterday, August 21, we got done with the quilt top!! I love strip quilting; it is so fast. We had a goal of getting it done before school started and thank the Lord we have succeeded. Now we'll be mailing it to MO to get it machine quilted. It is so much more affordable than having it done here in Colorado. This is Beth and me in Jason and Jeffrey's bedroom. The quilt is for their bed.

You can see why they needed a quilt made, since the comforter underneath is so girly.
