I took a break from gardening one afternoon and made my "Four Star Generals" block with Ranette via Facetime.
I finished the parts for my new mystery quilt one evening. I had to make 124 HST's and then piece them with the squares I cut last month. I can't wait to see what this quilt is going to look like.
Friday afternoon I pieced this little mini. It is from the Jo Morton club I joined.
Saturday I had a sew day at my house to celebrate a friends birthday. There were three of us sewing on Dear Jane. We have decided that we will be doing ten blocks a month. My traditional Jane is pretty well under way and if I stick to the ten a month I would have it done next spring. I will show you my blocks when I have all ten done. I made six yesterday and one today. I forgot how labor intensive these babies are. Next month I am going to evaluate all the blocks I have already done by putting them up on my design wall. I know there are a few that stick out like a sore thumb that I need to remake.
Well, that's it for this week.
I wish you all a happy, healthy, safe week!
I leave you with my list of goals for April. I cut it back quite a bit but will add those projects back in as others get finished.

I can't believe how many Dear Jane blocks you are making each month. I bought the book years ago and still haven't made a single block! With all of those projects, no wonder you need to go to work to get a rest! : )
