Sandhill Plums Charming Thursday

Our newest KT fabric line, Sandhill Plums, just made it's debut at Fall Quilt Market in Houston a couple weeks ago. Yummy shades of plum, red, navy, green, gold, black and tans are just made for a spring-themed project. The charm quilt for this line is a little table runner called Sand Plum Jelly. Sandhill Plums are unique to this part of the country, planted as windbreaks in sandy soil back in the homesteading years and are known for their tart berries each summer. Anyone who's tasted a Sandhill Plum can certainly appreciate how much sugar it takes to make those little berries palatable for jelly.


Several other projects featuring Sandhill Plums precuts are in a blog posted last week on
Nov. 9th. Check them out!

Comment here by Sunday 10pm. for a chance to win a charm pack and pattern for Sandhill Plums!
Anyone out there ever had Sand Plum Jelly?
What is your favorite food memory from your Grandmother/family?

  1. I absolutely love this fabric, it is indeed YUMMY.

    I have never had Sand Plum Jelly, but your writing about them reminds me of Laura Ingalls flicking wasps and bees off of warm ripe plums and popping the fruit into her mouth on the banks of Plum Creek (that was in Minnesota, not Kansas).

    I never knew either of my grandmothers. My mom's favorite memory of HER grandmother is strawberry picking in the spring.

    Thanks for the chance at a give-away.

  2. Hello Lynne,

    I can't remember the food my Nana served but I have lovely memories of her kitchen. I have a old food safe that belonged to her. I remember getting the jar of vegemite from there. It is funny the things we remember from childhood.
    Thanks so much for a chance to enter your giveaway.
    Happy days.

  3. I can't say I ever had Sand Plum Jelly. I've had delicious Plum Jelly.
    My favorite memory is actually my Grandfather's Irish Soda Bread...delicious! I remember one St. Patrick's Day I was ill from a dental visit and couldn't have any. When I felt better my Grandfather (we called him Pon) made me a loaf of my own...I didn't even have to share!
    Thanks for the great giveaways!

  4. My maternal grandmother was definitely not a cook. She was an interesting, unique person. She mixed up gallons of root beer from a little vanilla extract sized bottle she ordered from New Orleans - lots of sugar. The mixture turned anything it touched a permanent brown which drove my mom crazy but the root beer was the best!

  5. Love the fabrics! I've never heard of Sand Plum jelly. I remember making pies with my grandma. I always got to make a small one just for me.

  6. Oh - I had never heard of sandhill plums - how interesting! Love the plums and golds in this collection.

  7. Nope, never had Sand Plum jelly! My Grandma and our family had the tradition of making anise cookies every year - she made tons of them and mailed them to all kinds of family and friends. We still have her cookie molds and continue this tradition - it's amazing at the tiny little detail in the molds. Although I think the cookies are disgusting to eat, they are wonderful to look at!

  8. Never heard of sand hill plums but sounds good. I have made jelly out of regular plums and it is very good. Love the new colors and patterns. Looking forward to getting them as soon as I can.

  9. I'd never heard of sandhill plums before, either! But thinking of all the sugar you had to add to make them palatable makes me mindful of crabapple jelly! My Grandma Willie was quite handy in the kitchen, and this time of year I always remember her Sand Tarts. She never wrote down a complete recipe for them anywhere -- just bits and pieces of notes on different recipe cards -- so none of us have ever been able to duplicate them. They were a Christmas favorite. :)

  10. Being from Wisconsin I've never heard of sandhill plums, but the fabric looks great and I'll bet the jelly was tasty. When Mom baked pies, she would take the remaining scraps of pie dough, flatten them out into circles and bake them for us kids. I think we called them tarts. They were topped with cinnamon sugar and made a tasty little treat.

  11. I have never had Sand Plum Jelly, I make Plum Jelly every year. I have a great friend that makes cherry choke jelly, which is delicious. I have to check this out.

  13. As always, what a beautiful fabric line! I have never heard of sand plum jelly, but it sounds yummy. My favorite food memory is of my grandma making taffy and having a taffy pull with all of her grandchildren. It made Christmas so much fun.

  14. Beautiful line- can't wait to work with it soon.
    Around here it is the Apple Butter that brings back memories of Nana. (AND her homemade fudge!)

  15. Once again, my favorite colors and prints. My favorite food memory is my grandmothers roast beef and yorkshire pudding. Delicious.

  16. Lovely fabrics-- beautiful colors!! I've never heard of Sand Plums, but the name makes me think of On the Banks of Plum Creek-- one of my favorite Little House on the Prairie books... :-) When I think of my Grandma, one of the many wonderful memories that comes to mind is her so, so delicious ham and potatoes. She would make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas and it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted... I don't know what it was about *her* ham and potatoes, but I've never tasted any other ham and potatoes that even came close to that deliciousness... :-)

  17. I have had sand plum jelly and chokecherry as well. My grandparents lived up in northwest Nebraska and we always picked these in the summer.Good memories. The fabric is really pretty. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  19. I've never tasted Sand Hill Plums or the jelly. I'm from the south and not sure if we even have those here. I don't remember a lot about my grandmothers baking, but my mom made wonderful pies and cakes, especially her banana cake with 7 minute frosting.

  20. I grew up near Salina and remember picking Sand Hill Plums with my dad so he could make wine. This brew required lots of sugar, perhaps too much sugar... Dad always got a bad case of poison ivy. Squeezing the cooked berries to get the juice made a huge mess. But it's still a wonderful memory of my dad.

  21. I have never had Sand Plum Jelly but imagine it is very delicious. I'd love having the charms before the fabric hits the shelves. What a special treat! Favorite foods from the past are fruit pies at grandma's house. Happy Thanksgiving! Lana

  22. I've never had sand plum jelly but....my favorite memory of my grandmother is when she made mashed potatoes using a wooden potato masher....I sitll have that masher:)....and I can hear the way she would tap(bang) the edge of the bowl 3 times with the masher, then turn the bowl and repeat the process....thanks for giving me the chance to think about that for a moment!

  23. Why are most memories food related? My one grandma made sugared orange peel, yum. My other grandma made homemade donuts. Of course there was no recipe - you had to "watch her". So my husband and I as newlyweds (34 years ago) "watched" her. We went home and attempted to make them ourselves. Needless to say our dog had the best doggie biscuits ever!
    I so love your fabric, only wish I could see it in person because you know it varies via the computer screen. Thanks for the chance to win.

  24. What a wonderful question... I just lost my aunt and so I have been thinking of all the times we were together with my grandmother. Her masterpiece was her baked beans ! As long as I could remember she started out with canned pork and beans and then decorated them up with brown sugar, catsup, a bit of vinegar and lots of bacon and yellow onions cooked with the bacon grease:)...

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love this line. My favorite food memory about my grandparents is Christmas dinner. My grandmother was a wonderful basic cook. She covered her ham with marishino cherry halves and whole cloves. Her mashed potatoes had plenty of butter. There were always canned french cut green bean caserole topped with canned fried onions. It was always picture perfect and the smells were wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My grandmother was a great cook. It was something that she took pride in. She made bread each week and to this day anytime I smell bread baking I am taken back to her kitchen.

  27. I've never had Sand Plum jelly. I'm not really a fan of sweet foods. Both my grandmothers died when I was very young, and I didn't know either well, so I don't remember either of them cooking anything. But my mother, who died last year, was a wonderful cook. Some of the favorites I remember her making were kielbasa and pierogies, homemade macaroni and cheese, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and of course, Maryland blue crabs.

    Thanks for the chance to win. I love the warm, rich colors as much as the warm, rich foods Mom used to make!

  28. I've never had that kind of jelly, but would love to try it. My grandmother came to America at 10 yrs old, from Cornwall England. She made the best Cornish Pasties ever! She showed us girls how to make them but they don't taste like hers and she is gone now :( SWarren

  36. My father was the last baby in a family of 15 children. He was mainly raised by his sister, Anne.
    Aunt Anne was the only 'grandmother' I knew.
    When we went to the country to visit her she always had freshly baked buns and homemade raspberry jam ready for us.
    Thanks for bringing up such a lovely memory and for a chance in your giveaway.

  37. I love your blog and have learned so much from reading it. I particularly liked the ability to enlarge the photos to see the quilting. Sadly, since Google Blogger added the lightbox feature, and from what I have learned did so without discussing it with folks who owned the blog, it is really difficult to fully appreciate the photographs. I learned that the following url tells blog owners how to eliminate the lightbox feature. Would you consider doing so? http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-disable-bloggers-lightbox.html

  40. I have to admit that even though I consider myself a 'foodie', I had never heard of sandhill plums. It is interesting to learn about regional foods. I had never heard of scuppernong grapes until I moved to the southeast. My grandmother made wonderful rolled sugar cookies!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love this fabric- i love mix of the size of flowers. Never Sandhillplum jam - but here in Michigan we make thimbleberry jam. my grandmother taught me to make that and it was fun picking them too. thanks.

  42. My grandmother was an average cook, but she always made sure there was a special cake from the bakery when we came to visit plus the candy cupboard was always stocked.

  49. Growing up we knew there were 2 fruits that weren't meant to be eaten raw: wild plums and chokecherries! They both make awesome jellies.

  55. I've never had Sand Plum Jelly...guess I'm missing something! My best food memory is of my grandmother's homemade hermit cookies...they were soft and yummy and full of nuts and raisins. I don't think I've had any since then that has tasted as good. And this memory was when I was probably 6 or 7... a long time without a perfect hermit cookie!

  59. This the first time I have heard about Sand Plum
    Jelly. Can't wait to get some of your new Sandhill Plums line. Love the plum color! My grandmother made the best Sugar Cookies and Poor Man's Pie. I remember eating the Poor Man's pie when I was little. My mother can't remember how my grandmother made. I know she used leftover pie crust and mix together with her finger a little milk, sugar, flour, butter and vanilla, but I don't know the amounts. It was sure good! I don't know that my grandmother had recipe for her sugar cookies, but they were yummy.

  65. Sand Hill plums are new to me. Of course, I have never been to Kansas. Jam, yum.

  66. Have never had Sand Hill plums. Nebraska where we live has some wild plums but they never seem to bear because they get sprayed when farmers spray their fields with weed killer. We think the spray keeps them from producing. I think your fabrics keep getting prettier. I love the Kansas Trouble fabrics and would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity.

  68. Beautiful fabric. I actually have eight sand plum bushes in my yard. Yummy jelly!

    I have 40 first cousins on my mother's side of the family. Holidays were always a loud, happy event! My granny never had enough money to buy presents for the grandkids, there were just too many of us. My granny made me feel special by taking me blackberry "pickin" and making me blackberry cobbler. Granny passed in 2005 at the age of 95. One of the last conversations we had was reminiscing about her blackberry cobbler and how special it was for me. It's funny how the simple things in life can mean the most.

    ReplyDelete
  69. In Nebraska (between Omaha and Lincoln) we just called them Wild Plums. I'm not sure if they are the same thing as what you refer to as Sandhill Plums. My grandmother used to make the best jelly/jam out of those. Eaten raw, they would make your whole mouth feel dried out in seconds--really sour! They made such beautiful preserves, too.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Oh how I LOVE that table runner!!! So simple and prairie-ish!! Love the new fabric line! No, I have never had sandhill plum anything, but would be willing to try. My favorite food memory from my grandmother would be her homemade cinammon rolls.

    ReplyDelete
  71. My grandparents had all passed by the time I was born, so no memories there. But I do fondly remember an elderly great aunt. If you wanted a super cake, that was the house to visit. She mad a "10 egg" cake that was not only delicious but it was delicious. I so wish I had that recipe now. :P

    ReplyDelete
  72. My fondest food memory from my grandmother is the Mock Strawberry Salad we had at Thanksgiving. Basically, it was made of ground cranberries, pineapple, tons of sugar and whipped cream, folded together and frozen. The recipe made a massive batch that we ate as our salad for dinner for days. It always seemed like the funniest thing in the world as a kid that we were having ice cream as a salad! Beautiful fabrics, by the way!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I've never even heard of Sand HIll Plums let alone taste them. The new fabrics are very nice. My grandmother would let me sit on the counter when she was mixing cakes (from scratch of course) and when she was done, she would let me lick the beaters. She also made mulberry jam from the two trees she had along the sidewalk to the door. They were very messy as I remember.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Great project! The purple/plum in this line is super. My grandmother made banana bread with nuts for Christmas. It wasn't the family favorite, but I LOVED it. She usually gave me an entire loaf to take home. Happy to have her recipe for my own. Happy Thanksgiving!

  78. Beautiful fabrics! Can't wait to see them in person!
    Favorite memory... well there are several... both of my Grandmothers were quilter's. So there are memories of helping my one Grandma draw around her cardboard templates so she could cut them out by hand. My other Grandma always had a quilt in a frame in the winter. And of course going to there houses and sleeping under there beautiful quilts! I also liked to be in the kitchen with my one Grandma... she made the best home-maid noodles during the holiday's!
    Thanks for Charming Thursdays!

  79. I have enjoyed sand plum jelly! It has been years though, and I don't think there are any sand plums left here in central Oklahoma!
    My grandmother had many special things she made, but my most fond memory (we lived across the garden from my grandparents & great-grandparents) was the homemade bread she made every 2-3 days for her dad because he did not eat store-bought bread! On bread days, we would rush home, change clothes, then head to grandmother's house for hot bread, covered with fresh home-churned butter! She would even keep grape nehi and orange and strawberry crush for us for that yummy snack!

  80. The fabric line is wonderful and I already have my pre-order in at my local fabric store. My grandmother was just the best of cooks with a French/German mix. The one thing I remember most were her frosted orange cookies -- I have many of her recipes but not that one. I have tried dozens of recipes but none equal that memory. Would love to be your latest winner. pwiggs@embarqmail.com

  81. I spent some years as a child in Eastern Colorado but am not sure we had sand hill plums. My Granny made the best homemade bread which we would eat right out of the oven. It would have been extra good with sand hill plum jelly I'm certain. Her Thanksgiving dinner was sensational. Love the Sand Hill Plum line, would love to win. grandmas9@msn.com.

    I've never even heard of sandhill plums. For one of my grandmothers, my favorite food memory would be all the candies (fudge, divinity, etc.) she made every Christmas. For my other grandmother, it's a tie between her delicious cornbread dressing and the seafood feasts she cooked so often when I was a little kid. :o)

  87. I've not ever had Sandhill Plum Jelly, but I have had Crabapple Jelly, Gooseberry Pie, and Persimmon cookies. The pie takes a lot of sugar, so I can understand how the jelly you had would as well. My grandmother wasn't a fantastic cook or baker. She was thrilled when TV dinners and frozen pot pies became available. She was a Girl Scout leader for over 30 years and we could always have Girl Scout cookies just about any time of the year because she froze dozens of boxes in the spring.

  93. No, I've never had Sand Plum Jelly and have never even heard of sand plums. A food memory I have of my great-grandmother is that she always cut her ice cream in the 1/2 gallon cardboard containers after completely unfolding the box to expose the neopolitan ice cream.
