And Away We Go!!

I am back and about ready to get "caught up" on my blocks! So many ideas and projects and so little time! Is that the way you feel? I just heard a new way to quilt, try quilting on old linens! Now I could really shoot myself! A couple years ago I gave away tons of old linens when we went through my husbands Moms' home before selling it! I do have a small source though left! Cindy Needham has begun this idea in her book! just go to her site at cindyneedham.com and order her book..I also watched her on Alex Andersons' Internet show, if you have not seen that yet, that is a must; it replaces her old Simply Quilts show that was on cable for years...OK!!! I am quilting wholecloth 1800 repro. fabric into panels to make curtains for my almost finished bedroom and bath upstairs in our Cabin....but I figured I could also get atleast 2 blocks for my sweet baby jane quilt done each day so I could get caught up and be on time in the "end"! Confessions of a Dear Baby Janer! Quilted Blessings if you are just stoppin' by....leave a comment if you'd like! Kari

See Jane Run!!

Have you ever just wanted to quilt and nothing but quilt?...so Help You!... that is where I am at right now but not able to get to my sewing room! Since, we are building our cabin and finishing it up day by day, I had to spend a few days sweeping sawdust, cleaning cupboards and setting up my small quilt shop...I was blessed and able to put together a quilt to send down to my grandys in SC for their school fund raiser...I hurriedly longarmed it in a feathered meadow flower pattern and ran off to USP before they closed on Saturday...
You know sometimes Moms' feel sick but they don't realize it? Have you ever been there?....I had a backache all week..it was getting worse..I NEVER have back problems..I am a nurse and finally talked to my hubby who is also a ER nurse..and we thought, "gee, is it in the lower back?,right or left or central?.." we came to the conclusion that I could be passing a small kidney stone!...I increased my fluids and started to drink green tea...it finally passed, left me feeling kind of "punky"..but then I could put my full attention and effort into the "gathering frends" quilt I was trying to put together to send out South!..Yea!!....
Now!!! back to my Sweet Baby Jane!!.....soon!! (I have 4 quilts to longarm for some new friends in southern Ohio)! But Soon!!! See Jane Run!!! Quilted Blessings!! Kari

Quilting or Bust!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!! Aren't we all!!!!!! Got some more fabric in the mail from heartofdixiequiltshop.com today...I LOVE it!!!...there is great choices there and it is a quilters haven in price also! I have to finish a quilt to send to South Carolina for our oldest son Steves' kids for a school raffle for helping the school out too! I realized last night that I needed to have it in the mail on Friday,! yep! so! I had to find a simple pattern but interesting too..."I think you've got it!" as the old saying goes!!!....I am also setting up my fabric in my cabin...hoping to get it open soon to sell to kindred souls that I have not met yet! Quilting is such a great experience isn't it?...the back to Jane this weekend..I am sure I am close to 14 behind by now!...but it is "Quilting or Bust!" for me gals!!! Quilted Blessings!! Kari

Downunder

Here I go!! "Downunder" today!! After I check out a grocery place that a Mennonite family runs (we are all trying to save money,yes?) I am starting my "journey", I especially love the quilt that was posted yesterday here at Dearbabyjane! It would take alot of planning but it would be fun too! I like the softness of it..and then the striking contrast to at the sides...I had an eye exam yesterday and my macular degeneration has increased in my right eye and my left eye is "soft"...yes, I am taking vitamins and now I must be faithful to my "grid"...it is still in the dry stage...but you know! I must quilt quilt quilt!! and enjoy each sunny and grey day!! God Bless You if you read my little mind-teaser moments here at my Sweet Baby Jane blog...hey! hope to be posting pictures soon!! Quilted Blessings!!! Kari
