Monday's design wall has my first 2 blocks on my Dear Jane journey. :-) I am tagging along with
Angela as she works on 2 sets of blocks. This week's blocks are K-9 Scouts Honor and J-8 Anna's Anchor. The teeny applique almost had me running in the opposite direction, but I stuck with it and am pretty happy with the block, I'll just have to be careful when sewing the quilt together~ but I have a few years before that point! LOL :-) I'm using my CW stash and instead of a dedicated background fabric, just using the lights in my collection. ;-) I am little behind~ already! :-o~ I have 2 more blocks to work on this week. Ever thought about starting a DJ? Have the book or CD but haven't jumped in yet? C'mon and join us! :-)
And just for fun, I added my little purses to the photo. The tutorial can be found on
Quiltsalott's blog. They were fun and easy!~ even the hand sewing! ;-) DD is already counting on the green zippered one to go back to school with her. LOL ;-)
What are you working on? For lots of inspiration check out
Judy L's blog where she has a list of quilter's all over blogland and what they are working on. :-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

You have a long journey ahead on DJ but I think you will enjoy the ride.
DJ is challenging, but very much worth it! I am working on mine very slowly, but each finish is very satisfying. I'll check back to see your progress!
Your design wall looks more fun than mine...cause I don't have one.
How about a design counter? Will that work? LOL
Congratulations on completing your first two Dear Jane blocks, they're lovely! I'll be eager to watch your progress!
Your blocks are beautiful! I am so glad you are doing these with me! (I am starting mine this afternoon!) The applique has me a bit squeamish too, but we will get thru it, right... :o) Fantastic job!
Love the little purses, too!
Good luck on the DJ quilt. It's an adventure. I've done about 70ish blocks so far. I keep picking it up and putting it away. It's fun.
The Dear Jane blocks are so cute. That is a project on my "someday" list.
I'm working on the handwork for a couple of bindings - one small and one large project. And I'm doing 2 more appliqued flip flop blocks for my daughter's wedding.
I love making those cosmetic bags....
DJ is a big adventure, are you hand piecing? I think I prefer the mixed up lights rather than one fabric. Fabulous purses! I love the pretty fabric, you did a great job of them.
So you've dove into the Dear Jane Ocean have you?? ;) What beautiful blocks for your first two. What a fun adventure and that you can share your progress along the way here on your blog.
That's neat that you and Angela are doing it together - I hope you also get many more to work along on this with you - seems like last year or so there was a DJ group on the HGTV board that posted to a thread every so often.... are they done by now?
I don't have the book - nor enough confidence that I could do everything that the blocks call for... so for now I'll just admire yours ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Love those blocks (and your cute bags)! I have the Dear Jane book - but am a bit scared to even try it! Very tempting though!!
