2012-2013 Dear Jane Stickle 2d Cyber Party Pictures and Discussion

Very nice blocks Pink Lady. I do like your A-1 block being wonky like the one Jane made. Great job!

First Dear Jane block
Here is my first block. I lost the other 2 pics. LOL! I will post later.

I made lots of those little diamonds to applique and decided on the method of layering wax paper and cutting out the shape. Then placing the shape on the fabric and folding over edges and using tiny dots of glue to hold in place while I appliqued with silk thread. I tried starching the edges over the template but that is too messy for the RV and hotel room.

BEAUTIFUL work Pink lady love the A-1 and your fussy cut of A5 ....yes A2 is awesome too!
so... gotta mention if you ever lived in the L.A. area you may have heard of "pinklady" - there is a tunnel going to Malibu through a rocky pass and many many many years ago, someone climbed way up on the huge flat rock over the tunnel and painted a "fresco" - a 20 or so foot tall pink [naked] lady... not a da Vinci but the form was pretty decent [should say lifelike]. They really should have left it alone because they painted over it sort of. For the last 40+ years its been a blob but if you know where the original was you can still make out the outline through it
bottom line - whenever I see your screen name it brings a smile to much younger days!

Pink Lady and Dakotamaid, thanks for sharing pics - the blocks look great!

The restaurant was probably the Malibu Inn - which unfortunately has been closed for a few months now. The "tunnel" I speak of is very short and is on Malibu Canyon Rd., one of the main two roadways between the 101 and Malibu.
I realize it is the first of Feb..... have to start the new thread here.... not quite ready yet ladies!!
