De groene trip around the world is bijna klaar. Ik kan gaan aftellen!!

Dear Jane 26

The www Dear Jane hype is helping all of us to tackle the difficult blocks and keep us inspired.
All those wonderful pictures on Facebook and on the internet keep me going!!

My first 25 blocks are done and put together.
The next trip around the world will be in one fabric, bright red/pinkish. And after the Annual Meeting  of the Quiltergilde last Thursday I saw the pictures of Ted Storm's ElaTed quilt in progress and thought I do my best and try to do this next block Ted's way: Marking on the right side of the fabric and tagging the seam allowance before hand stitching it on the background fabric.

DJ progress

I made some progress last week and have 3 more DJ blocks to show you!

I have made 20 blocks so far!! Still enjoying the hand-piecing of these tiny pieces of fabric in bright colors…

Happy Quilting,
Rose-Anne

Dear Jane update

I have made 15 DJ blocks so far. Don't think there will be any more made this year ;)

I am happy with the result so far. Love the hand sewing, so relaxing!

Tonight the last bee of the year, thankful for my "Vughtse Stucjes" quilt friends. Live is good when you have friends to quilt with…..

Happy sewing,
Rose-Anne

Inspiration

I have been busy with all kind of things lately. And my head is bursting with ideas!

We had an inspirational day with the Dutch Quilters Guild at the Gardens of Appeltern. And here is the result…

Some old spoons and forks, stick apples on top et voila!! The birds are happy!

I taught two lovely ladies making small Christmas ornaments at my home.

And now my bee friends want to come over and give it a try too. The cardboard kits have been ordered ladies!

And my  Dear Jane with Kaffe Fasset fabric is growing slowly. I met with Sandra (click to go to her webpage and see what amazing things she makes and sells!!) to see what progress we made in the last weeks.
This always gives me an energy boost and all I want to do now is make another DJ block!

I am going to put the sashings in a special way, got the pattern from one of the ladies from our bee.

Did I already tell you I have too many ideas and plans in my head?  Oh yeah, told you already…..

Keep looking, you will find inspiration everywhere around you!!

After intense labour of 48 hours I can happily announce the birth of block G6 ..... I call her: difficult...

This is my 5th block of Dear Jane, it can only get easier after this.

Keep positive and happy quilting!!!!

Inspired by Jeltje from quiltshop 100 rozen I will use all the Kaffe Fasset fabrics I collected during the last 10 years for this mega project......

To be continued........


Happy quilting!!
