I will be making "dear jane" while waiting for my son in his speech, occupational, and physical therapy for his sensoray disorder. He gets 3 hrs of therapy a week at once so alot can get done! I started it today piecing it today at his session and I got a few weird looks but... I soo do not care cause while they are on their phones and looking at books and magazines at I will have something to show for my time lol.

You enjoy doing your quilting while you wait, I have done that also when I have gone to hospital with friends, but I got a lot of compliments. I rather do that then aft to listen to phone various rings and people chatting on phones. You need quite work in a hospital. It will be something special to show the little one when it is all over.

Those funny looks are those people problems, not yours! So sorry they are stuck with those faces!

I need to get back to mine. I print the designs out and then use the templates to cut the little pieces, one square at a time. I handpieced all that I have done and plan to even hand quilt this quilt. This is my heirloom quilt that I want to finish for my kids to hand down to their kids. But alas, it is on the top shelf in the sewing room waiting for me to finish. I think I have about 120 square done or almost all the squares. I don't plan to do the triangles around the border and I want to sash with black fabric so the squares will stand out. Guess, I'll get it down and work on it some now that I hear someone else had taken the plunge. Keep us posted as to your progress.
Love the fun of making these little squares. |
oh good luck!! I'm also working on my DJ quilt. It'll be great after you get a block or two done. :)
