Another 3 Blocks Completed!!

F-8, K-3, G-8
I cannot believe I managed to get a few more done today. Since they were slightly more difficult than yesterdays, I'm very happy with 3. Just another complete block tomorrow and I'll be on a countdown of my final 30!!

 

Hope to see you back here tomorrow with more good news.

 

Happy Quilting,

Another 6 Blocks



After a busy day in the sewing room, I have another 6 blocks completed. For some reason I thought Labor Day was tomorrow (Wishful Thinking?). I have another week to stay busy in my sewing room before the long weekend. Have a wonderful week! If I happen to get some more blocks done, I'll keep posting as they're completed.

Happy Quilting,
Heather

Tally: 135 blocks since January 2010, pieces: 2840 and counting

COUNTDOWN to 40!!

D-7 & K-12

It's official. I hit 129 blocks tonight and have just 40 more main blocks to go...oh, and I'm turning 40 in a month or so, too. The countdown to finish & 40 is on!

F-4, H-13
There are a few more easy blocks to help reach my goal. I'm grateful I saved them for the end of the project. I had a little software and printer trouble today.  After taking some time to prep fabrics, I found a way around the issues.

All I can say is thank goodness I have several ways of keeping track of things or I'd have been highly upset. I did manage to use a different colorway for one of the blocks and made it twice but I love how it turned out so I'll be sure to whip a little pincushion or something up with it.

Happy Quilting,

Back to JANE!


Finally---back on track and working on Dear Jane blocks again. It's amazing how many you can complete when you are able to sit at your machine in uninterrupted total silence. Well, as silent as a laundry room can get with Boston's Greatest Hits blaring in the background and the washing machine going.

I'm so glad I saved some easy-peasy blocks in case I found myself behind schedule. The piecing of L-12 is done, it's just waiting on the 4 tiny appliques for the corners. Not too shabby for an afternoon of sewing.

Piece.

RSVP Block 3

*8 pointed star*

Today's block for RSVP went quicker than expected. I like this one so much I may do a whole top of stars!

When I find nice tonal batiks I love to add them to the stash in small amounts....a fat quarter here, a half yard there and I mix them with traditional prints when I feel like it.

No rules. Quilt Fearlessly!

Happy Quilting,
