F-7 Star Struck

This is the last of the pictures I took of the blocks I made when I started my journey with Jane. I will take pictures of the rest of the blocks I have finished tomorrow. This was a fun block to make, I did the three sections and then added the boarder. 

Happy New Year!!

Since I had started with A-3 Hunters Moon, I decided to choose some easy ones to do next, A-6 Uncle Homer,  A-8 Florance Nightingale. These worked up very fast and I felt like I had a good start on my journey with three blocks finished. 

A-3 Hunter's Moon

This is the first block I made. I have no idea why I started with this one, its not a beginner block, but since I've been sewing practically my whole life I didn't think it would be difficult. It's not perfect but I enjoyed the challenge of making it, I used the block tips on the

dear jane website.

I spent the day taking a short road trip with my friends, we went up to visit one of my friends

mother-in-law and see the new addition to her house, which is beautiful!! We had lunch and shopped at some thrift shops. It was so nice visiting with everyone and wandering around the different shops. I am a little excited about finding some fabric that will add some more variety to what I all ready have, and with dear jane needing 169 different fabrics just for the blocks, one can never have too much!! I just thought I had too much of fabric until I started this quilt. : )

Its been too long!!

Wow!!

Where does the time go? I didn't think that my blog was still up after all this time. I was just checking for the fun of it after reading some other blogs and found it up and still running. It looks so sad compared to all the other blogs with their years of blogging and pictures of all the great quilts and other projects they have made.

First I need to say so sorry to all the people who visited my blog looking for pictures of my dear jane quilt(still haven't figured out how to do the copyright symbol) that I am working on and found nothing.

This picture is of how I have my blocks organized by colors. I have been working on my quilt off and on over the past four years, more off than on since I'm going to school and working. I decided to share my journey with jane with my mom a couple of weeks ago. She is very excited to start her quilt. I will be posting more pictures of the blocks I have finished as soon as I figure out how to up load more than one picture on a post. This really is a learning experience all the way around!

so far behind!!

I am way behind on my blogging!! I decided to go ahead and write something since I have my blogspot on the dear jane list. People might actually look at this and think that's all!!

I had my son's 19th birthday and then moved my daughter to California. Two days after I got home from California my aunt died. My mom has been visiting for the last week. We made so many trips to the fabric store to get more fabric for our stash, like we need more!?! Oh well, we always get together and share with each other or think we have to make the same thing. At least we have plenty of fabric. It's been fun and crazy.

All the pictures I took to show of my dear jane quilt are on the camera in the back of my daughter's car, so I can't post them until just before Christmas when she comes home.

Getting Started

This is my first attempt at this blogging thing.

I am hoping to use this as a way of tracking my Dear Jane (couldn't figure out how to do the copy right sign, maybe later) quilt and also to finish other projects that I have started and set aside to start something else. I have been reading other blogs and I like looking at all of the different quilts and crafts that they are working on and finishing, which is what I need to do. So I am using their idea. Hopefully I can be half as successful as them.
