Great blogs to visit often…..

There are some very helpful Janiac's in blog land. I was looking at some blogs and blogs of the members of Janiac's Unite and there are some very helpful ladies.

Aunt Reen Quilts Modern has easy tutorials on doing the blocks and alternatives to sewing them to what you would think is the way to sew them. So very helpful and thank you Doreen.

 

Julianne has a lovely blog to visit and has lovely inspirational goings on....go and visit her blog HERE.

Minka always has a very interesting blog to visit and has made many blocks for her Dear Jane quilt.

Lynn from What A Hoot has an awesome blog to visit too and always has interesting posts and is a true Janiac.

I don't know about you but before I sew up the blocks I always see how others have sewn them. Another good blog to visit is That Quilt. Fantastic tutorials on all of the blocks.

Apart from visiting other’s blogs, I like to keep a journal of when I finish each block. I put the Name and Number of the block and the date I completed it and how many pieces made up the block and I then insert a picture of the my completed block. After all that I then write up events that took place on that day with my family and sometimes the world.

I sometimes have to redo a block. Grrr…most frustrating but if I don't redo it, I drive myself nuts thinking about how crooked it is etc. So the quick unpick comes out and I fix the mistake.

Here is my latest block…

It's a Finish - a Block Finish that is!

Finally!  Made another DJ block.  It has been so long, LOL.  Here is I-3.  Almost had to redo - the unfinished size is 5" as the ones in the book are 4 1/2".  I have to make a bookmark with that tidbit in red for the book and keep reminding myself of that.

Your turn, now , to make one.  Look forward to your eye candy.

A-1 Pinwheel Gone Awry

Hot outside today and so I decided to make another DJ block this afternoon. Starting with row A, as that way I don't get to make all the easier blocks first.

More of a writeup on my own blog.

Block A-6

A-6 Uncle Homer

Yay finally got around to starting my Dear Jane quilt in civil war reproduction fabrics.

Very happy with the look of this block and so glad I have started the quilt again from scratch.

Went to compare the new block with the old block and in the last 2 days, I have managed to loose (I like to say misplaced) my 14 old blocks.

Loved playing and picking from my beautiful fabrics and I so hope to get another block made very soon.

OHHH My Dear Jane Quilt!

Here's my first block.

I've never been able to post on someone elses blog before.  So here's a test run.  I've only made 6 of these little blocks and am excited to get some more sewn with this new group.  Here's a link to my OHHH My Dear Jane Quilt!

Hello to Everyone who loves to sew the Dear Jane blocks.

Hi everyone….This is a blog dedicated to all the Janiacs out there who want to support each other in getting the blocks sewn for their Dear Jane quilt. Sometimes doing it all on your own is a bit daunting and having the support of others is a great boost along.

If you would like to be a part of this blog and post your pictures of your Dear Jane blocks and talk about your progress then just leave a comment and we will email you with details and we will add you to the blog so that you can be a part of the ongoing support.
Those who are joined up will be listed on the sidebar.
The idea of this blog is to challenge ourselves in putting up a blog post once a month and with that, making a Dear Jane block.
If you join up then posting once a month is a must and if you don't post for two months you will be taken off the list and blog.

Dawn and I look forward to seeing your blocks and the ongoing encouragement from you all with each others progress.

Hugs to all…..
