Jane's Rocket

Here are the Jane Babies I finished this week. They were all from my hand-work tote.

D-8

D-11

D-12

E-10

F-12

LS-6

When I entered the piece counts for this week's finishes on the spreadsheet, it told me I was up to 1992 pieces. It just bugged me. It was like it was saying "Neener, neener, neener!" being so close to a perfectly even 2000. I was tempted to finish one more Baby to top that number, but yesterday I prepped the next double-set of Babies to work on (the rest of the catch-up, by the way, woohoo!) and right now I am SICK TO DEATH of Jane. 

But it BUGGED me! So I pulled my Jane Box out of the bureau drawer and fished out all the loose Babies.  

Then I gritted my teeth and sewed 8 sashing pieces on (and ONLY 8) so I could get that spreadsheet total to 2000.

Silly me.  :D    But I'm not going to sew anymore Jane stuff today. Machine or hand. She can just cool her jets for a day or two.   Maybe I'll take the family to Batman instead. And a bike ride along Cottonwood Creek Trail. And maybe we'll try some disc golf on that public course along the trail. Oh, wait - Scott says those aren't frisbies they use, but real-live golf discs, which are a little bit different. Maybe we'll have to try that some other day - Something to look forward to.

Row D - 2 blocks

Well, I had challenged myself to 2 blocks per week in May and prepared 4 early in the month. We have reach the middle of the month and I have only completed 2 of my blocks so far.
I have finished D7 Meeting Place, hand-pieced and sewn to D6

and also D8 Dee Dee's Delight, reverse applique.

That takes me to 119 blocks so far, 50 more to finish the centre.

More D's and 3 rows joined

I have been busy on DJ again and decided at last to join some rows together. Rows A-C are now joined so I feel like I am getting somewhere at last.

I have also completed some more D blocks and with only 4 to go I should have row D joined on in no time..............
