Well, 5 out of 6 jars of dills didn't seal. However, when I barely touched the tops to check them, they popped down. Hummm.....I wonder if you can taste botulism? I now don't know which one did seal properly. Oh well, not sure what I am going to do with the spears now. Also, I worried a bit about the jam. They sealed fine (I did a water bath on them) but they seemed very runny last night. I checked the box of sure-gel and it expired in 2010! However, this morning they had thickened up a bit. I think they will be ok.
I hope to get back to my 9-patch today. I don't have much to do to get the top finished; just sew together a few more rows, put the rows together, and sew on the borders. I plan to do some fancy custom quilting on it. Right now, I plan to do a 2 inch white on white border and then a 6 inch cream border. I"ll have to see if that looks ok. But first - chores, laundry, and groceries....yuck, I'd rather be quilting.
