Yesterday, I made two batches of blueberry jam. Â I had never had blueberry jam so I was skeptical but…no worry. Â One jar is already gone. Â I used a recipe from Pick Your Own. Â If you haven’t checked their website out, it’s great for canning and for ideas on using garden produce.
Check out the lids…aren’t they cute?
Awhile ago I had made peach jam. Â The lids were pre-printed with a red gingham pattern. Â They were so cute. Â That got me thinking…I wonder if the AccuQuilt circle die is the same size?
After a little investigation I figured out that the 3″ die is just a little bigger than the small lids. Â I laid it on top and put the ring on…
and I had cute little fabric cover lids.
With a little more investigation, I determined that  the four inch circle on the Dresden Plate die will work for the wide mouth lids.
Adding the little fabric on top makes the jar of jam just a little more festive and perfect for gift giving.
Make sure to stop back tomorrow…I have a little surprise for you.
Yumm… blueberry jam. I received a gift of a jar from a classmate in a long-arm quilt class about a month ago. I won’t let anyone else in the house touch it. Oooh, oooh, I bet the special surprise is a jar of jam!
Another reason to go for the Accuquilt system. I have been mulling it over wondering if I will really use it alot!! It isn’t going to take much more to convince me. The jam looks yummy!!!

I love this idea! Thanks
How clever! Pretty, pretty!
Too cute. So many places to use fabric.
I don’t eat too much jam but blueberry sounds good. Love the added touch on the lids. I just want to know though, how do you get so much done? I didn’t get a jar of anything made this year and I had great plans. I do have a recipe for Chili Sauce that uses canned tomatoes so I can make some this winter.
