AWOL With Jane Stickle
 

I did it. I hand stitched all 225 blocks. As I got close to the end they took on a life of their own and Owned ME. They invaded my sleep and took all my waking hours. My hands were sore every evening and my eyes were tired. But its done. Dear hubby did ALL the COOKING.
I am NOT starting to assemble then yet because, believe it or not I'm taking a class in hand quilting. I've come this far so I want to do it right.
So here they all are ( Bless their little hearts, LOL, they're like children to me now. I think the eldest is 4 yrs old!)

Amazing. I started Dear Jane a few years ago. Have all of 19 blocks done. I may be inspired to start again

:thumbup: That is quite an accomplishment. They look wonderful.

Very pretty. Looks like lots of work...but worth it.

i applaud your tenacity to finish the blocks... they look great

Fabulous! I often wonder what Jane would think, her quilt becoming the inspiration and obsession of so many quilters of the future.

Yeah!!! The babies look fantastic!!! Congratulations!

WOW that is some fantastic hard work. I wouldn't have the patience for that much hand work.

YOU, should be one proud, Mama, your babies are totally awesome!!!!!!

Kudos on finishing all the blocks! Quite an accomplishment~

Congratulations! That was a lot of work for sure!

My hat is off to you and to your husband so you can finish it. Well done, but please share it when finished.

What an accomplishment! Wonderful work.

Bless your heart - that's a lot of work for those precious babies!

Absolutely awesome.

Wow, that's impressive! Your blocks are beautiful

Congratulations! You should be very proud of such wonderful work!

I applaud you. I started one, but have about 2 rows done. And to hand stitch, standing ovation!

You have done a wonderful job! I hope you have a special place to hang it where you'll be able to re-travel your journey every time you look at her!

Wow! You did an awesome job.

Absolutely beautiful, you did an amazing job.

Congratulations....such lovely work and well worth every stitch.

Wow, it's on my bucket list. You did an amazing job. I've always admired your work, thanks for sharing.

Very nice....every time someone posts something about DJ....I think I'll get mine out and finish. PRETTY:)

wish I could give you a hug...mine is still not done after 6 years!!

I am in awe! Beautiful!

that's alot of work well done. it's such a large quilt. I'd almost be tempted to use a machine. LOL

Doing it all by hand is quite the accomplishment, and a tribute to Jane. I applaud you.

beautiful! a bazillion pieces too! You did a wonderful job on these. will you finish it this year?

I hope to have it sewn together before March? Then I expect it will take at least another year to hand quilt. Sigh!
