Purple Harvest

Bountiful harvest, beautiful grapes. This year we got a machine that stems and crushes the grapes. A different machine presses out the juice. I think we will freeze the juice and deal with it later.

The lighter grapes are seedless grapes just for eating. I froze some so we can snack on them icy, very refreshing.

The embroidery is the most recent sample I made for the shop. The pattern is one of the new ones we sell. I'm hoping for some that are more art and not so much sentiment.

The time is coming when I should be packed and ready to go. I'm torn between cleaning the house or working at the shop on Saturday. Everyone is gone to the Hill City Quilt Show, and

Tera is alone to mind the shop. Just about anything is more fun that cleaning, since the "clean" doesn't last.

I will try to blog while I am gone so you know what we are up to. I may not be able to add pictures until we get back. Thinking of you all, always.
