DEW BERRY, BLACK BERRY, TOMATO TAMATO, PECAN, PACAN??

A lot of you asked what a dew berry was.

It is the same as a blackberry, except they come out earlier, run along the ground, and are sweeter.  I thought the dew berries were bigger than blackberries but google says that black berries are bigger and you know it is true if it is on the internet....HA!!!

Most of you know that we are doing a family block a month, we draw a name each month and that person's whos name has been drawn gets to chose the block and then gets all of the blocks at the end of the month.  We have eleven participating, we sure could have used twelve.

I am not that great of a piecer and this is allowing me to hopefully, become better.

This block is Star Light Quilt block and you can find it here, it was a quilt a long from Happy Quilting (Cut, Sew, Quilt, repeat).  Chosen by one of my nieces.

    Dewberries in my neck of the woods are bigger than the blackberries in my neck of the woods!

    What a fun family activity! I don't have that many quilters in my family though, just my mom and I. We make stuff for each other all the time.

    What a fun family project! I wish more of my family liked sewing so we could do fun things like this. Maybe in time...

    They sound yummy. I know that where I grew up if you went up into the mountains in the clearings that had burned out due to forest fires you could pick wild blackberries and strawberries that were no bigger than your pinky fingernail. But oh they tasted wonderful. I would pick all day so I had enough blackberries my great grandmother could make me wild blackberry jam. I would get about 2 pints total.

    when you make something from blackberries it takes a lot of sugar, not real sweet
