Fixed!!!

After a ton of un-sewing and re-cutting, my Rainbow Jane is the right size.

I even had time for this weeks Jane's blocks. The one above is G-9 and the one below is J-3. All caught up again. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo

I just found out that I did the sashing and corner stones wrong on my Rainbow Jane. I cut them at 2" and should have done 1".

I guess my seam ripper and vacuum have a date this weekend. UGH!!!!!

Slow moving projects.

I was able to put the Rainbow Jane blocks I had made together Friday night after work. Wouldn't you know, I got a new set of ten in the mail the same day.
I worked on May's "Home is Where the Heart Is" block all day today. I would stitch a few colors, walk away and do chores, stitch a few, go to the gym, stitch a few, go cook. I am just happy it is finished. I hope to not have to machine blanket stitch for at least a month.
A new Nearly Insane block posts every Sunday. Last week, I am assuming because of Mother's Day, a new block wasn't posted. I decided to whip out an easy one and get a small step ahead of the game.
Here is C-13 of traditional Jane.
This is C-12
and this is C-7. This means I can put together the first 3 rows of my traditional Jane quilt if I want to. I just can't decide whether or not to do corner stones.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week.

Happy Stitchin! XOXOX

Nearly Insane Block 37

I was really limited on my sewing time this weekend. I went to Joy's house and Karene, Joy and I worked on our "Home is Where The Heart Is" BOM.

The only other block I had time for was my Nearly Insane BOW. This block is 6" with 93 pieces. I am making twin quilts to show how really insane I am. I am bummed that I didn't have time to get my 2 Dear Jane blocks done. I guess it is officially on vacation with Betsy's. LOL!

First Weekend in May

I was able to finish the rest of month 4 of my Rainbow Jane blocks. I am hoping to put them together next week if I have time.
I was also able to whip together my May Calendar BOM and get it hung.
Here is this weeks Nearly Insane BOW. Another easy one. I am waiting to get hammered with a hard one very soon.

I finally finished April's "Home is Where the Heart is" BOM that I am doing with Joy and Karene. We are having a get-together on Friday afternoon to start on May's block.

I Won!!!!!

How great is this prize? Pretty great!!!!!! I just love the fabrics and can already see them in my Angel Story quilt. The floss looks and feels fabulous! I can't wait to try it.
I won it here.

Denise has some great patterns.

Lookie what I won!

CJ had a drawing to all of us who were caught up with our Nearly Insane blocks. I WON! She sent me the cutest little bag she made along with such a pretty red & white fat quarter. I hope to use it in mext weeks block.

I finally finished this medallion for one of my UFO's I am trying to complete. The name of the quilt is called "Wildflower Sampler". I am burned out on blanket stitching. After I put this together with all the blocks I made for it, I have to put MORE flowers around the borders and blanket stitch those. ACK!!!!!!!

This is Block 77 of the Nearly Insane quilt. We have been on a streak of making easy blocks again. I am afraid to look tomorrow and see what CJ has planned for us.

This is block A-11 of my traditional Jane.

OK, I wasn't going to post the picture of this block. It is A-12 of traditional Jane. The seams are so off it isn't funny. I didn't really notice it until I have all the corners on it. I wasn't in the mood to start ripping so here it is. LOL! Look at it FAST.

This is block A-13 of traditional Jane. Again, look FAST. LOL!!!

I didn't take any pictures of the machine quilting class I took last week but Joy did. :)

I also took a class on Friday night at my sewing machine shop. It was a drivers license class to learn how to use their HQ16 on a frame or table. I really need to go practice more because there is no way I trust myself to do a quilt on it yet. I am able to rent the machine for $10 an hour to quilt my quilts when I am ready. It is really hard and I really have to praise all of you longarm quilters.
