Double Wedding Ring Tutorial

I found a great DWR tutorial that covers the process from beginning to end. I am very intimidated by curves in the sewing world. However, I really want to make a DWR quilt, so I'm saving this link for future reference. http://www.theplaidscottie.com/2011/07/dwr-quilt-along-yardage-cutting.html



Some of My Quilts

Some of the quilts I have made over the years, in various states of progress. I am reminded that I have much room for improvement.


















Feedsack Hexies

Many years ago my Aunt Darlene gave me some scraps that she had left over from a quilt she had made. Today when I was going through my stash I came across them and decided to use them for hexies. As I was cutting I realized that some, if not all of them, are feedsacks. There aren't enough to make a full size quilt, so I think I'm going to make a mini quilt to hang on the wall in my sewing room.

Dear Jane Templates

I ordered the Dear Jane templates on Amazon today. My first DJ BOM package is being shipped tomorrow. I'm so excited!


Dear Jane...I'm taking the plunge!

Today I signed up for a Dear Jane Block-of-the-Month Club through Stitchin' Heaven. The program is $25 per month. Each month they send you the fabric and patterns for 10 blocks. It's a 24 month program, so if I keep up with it, I will have my Dear Jane top pieced in 2 years time. I have always wanted to make a DJ quilt. It's on my bucket list. I'm not getting any younger and I figure it's now or never, so I'm going for it! You can learn more about the Dear Jane Quilt here.
