Dear Jane sew along

It's funny how things go sometimes. I haven't touched my Dear Jane for such a long time but decided to get all the blocks out early February to touch base with it, in the hope to rekindle my love and finish it... one day. And I think it worked! Once I laid out all the blocks I was in love again! Not that I have done any sewing on it since! And then a Dear Jane quilt-along came up on Instagram, starting in March. What a coincidence really, I can't let that opportunity to work on such an old UFO go, surely?

 So for now here are what I am starting from, made years and years ago... I started my Dear Jane in 2004 and everything so far has been hand sewn. I have 122 of the 169 blocks necessary, only 7 triangles, and none of the corner
Row A is only missing A1 and A2
Row B is less advanced with only 9 blocks out of 13
Row C has only 8 out of 13 blocks
Row D  11 out of 13
Row E 9 out of 13
Row F with 10 out 13
Row G is one of the least advanced one with only 7 blocks
Row H 9 out of 13
Row I is the least advanced with just 6 blocks
Row J is only missing 2 blocks
Row K has 10 out 13 blocks
Row L has 10 out of 13 blocks too
Row M has 11 out of 13 
Top Row - only 2 out of 13
Right Side - 3 triangles
Bottom Row - only 2
Left Side - 0!

 Still some work to do of course but I was pleased to see that I have actually already done a lot.

    Ahhh, a Jane in progress! Just recently saw a woman doing a DJ SAL on You Tube. She is using the EQ8 software to draft her blocks. My hats off to both of you. I have the book an templates but have never been organized to start one. One started is still better than one that is not!! You'll get back to her when you're ready.

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y...

Well not really where I am. It is pouring down with rain and it is very windy too. But it has been snowing in my sewing room! If you have arrived from the Holiday Lane Pillow  blog hop , welcome! Today is day my stop on the hop. I first saw Jill's design last year and saved it on my computer to make it one day! So when Madam Samm announced the blog hop run by Pauline, I thought this was the perfect occasion and signed up for it. Thanks to you for the motivation and the encouragement to get going!
