Surprised Myself !

I have been slowly adding to my Dear Jane blocks having renewed motivation to complete a small quilt .
I have been trying to sew at least one a week, usually on the weekend. I counted them in my block book today and to my surprise I have 15 blocks finished.

My Block book.


This is my latest  Dear Jane block.


Here are my 15 blocks .


Hopefully by the New Year I will have enough for a small quilt. This UFO has been sitting in my book for a while now so will be a good feeling to have it completed.

I finished a small  pumpkins quilt for Halloween, even though it is not an Australian tradition the children love calling at your door for trick or treat here and I like to make sure I have a big basket of  lollies  for them .They get all dressed  in their costumes and have big smiles on their face at the door.
So I embroidered the pumpkins to join in the fun.



Goodnight! Have a lovely sewing weekend.

Hi Jen, your Dear Jane blocks are so sweet, but your block book is absolutely stunning!! What a gorgeous way to protect and store blocks waiting for assembly. Love the little pumpkin embroidery too. We don't see trick or treaters here, a bit far for them to walk from door to door..........LOL.....

Harvest here, weekend very quiet for me, hubby working.

Hi Jen, Love the idea of your block book and the cover is gorgeous. Have always wanted to do a Dear Jane but there are so many other wonderful distractions too...... another 8 hours in the day would be nice. Di.
