Dear Jane update


























Attachments area



Hi Everyone!  I myself did not get a Dear Jane block done this week...but I am working on it!  Annie did, though!!  Her blocks are above...and her message below.  I love to hear her thoughts!




From Annie:  


"Hi Julie,

Something different this time.  A friend in New Hampshire who knows that I’m tackling a Dear Jane quilt asked if she could send me a little bit of fabric to include in my quilt.  So nice to be able to incorporate some of her kindness in my quilt!    She and I have similar taste in fabrics, and the gold is from her. I’ve learned that despite the big manufacturers, fabric tends to be regional.  What my friend finds in New Hampshire shops is different from what is displayed in the few remaining quilt shops in Washington state, which in turn is not what predominates in New Mexico.

These blocks were pleasant to make.  The red one was the most difficult, only because those corner triangles are really small.  The next block to make is definitely going to be a challenge - what I refer to as a “daylight” block, meaning that it will require excellent lighting for my old eyes to avoid mistakes.  Take care!  Annie"



This one below is from Lyn!!!  Please see her blog here...a very pretty block!

The Dear Jane quilts are not on my to-do list, but I love admiring other peoples' accomplishments!

Loving the log cabin quilt, though! Maybe I will be able to get back to sewing by spring, and I can start one of those. I did make a candle mat back when you were doing the LCLs.

The idea will be exceptional; the difficulty is something that doesn’t sufficient folks are speaking wisely about. I am extremely comfortable which i stumbled all through this kind of in my search for a very important factor relating to this.
