Past Time or it that In The Past?


Well, gals, I am "ready to roll"....but my fabric for Sweet Baby Jane that I want to use as my "base" is not here..(no, I am NOT cooking fabric! ha...although it might be "yummo")....ok! back on track......I sent for some pieces online and they should be here, like I said, next week....so! I have a stash here at the cabin and I decided to work with vintage for a couple days...I have been working with 1800's for a few weeks now...so, I will go visit Aunt Grace for awhile...actually I did have a WONDERFUL Aunt Grace in my life, my Gramma Fayes sister....
I am outside the box again.....actually I don't think I own a box.....that is beside the point, for some.......
I am putting it on a paddington bear background..
...I don't know!! .. we will see what it is like....also I am back into my square in a square by Jodi Barrows.....it is slick.....hey, that rhymes with my last name!!....
I am abit crazed today.......
My son is recording a band here this weekend...Have you ever been through recording bands?....it is layers and layers of background and vocals!!.....want to hear the last bands tune?...huh?.....Ok, I will stop....but I will make my son come to ONE quilt retreat here when they start happening!!!....
So! next week girls I am going to hop "onboard!".....you have 12 Dear Janes' done already?....yikes!!!!! Oh, my Aunt Grace my golly.
Sorry!! I will take my humor to my sewing chair!!!!!! Quilted Blessings!!!! Kari

Sweet Baby Jane


I am here and I am starting on the journey!! I have my book and dvd and inspiration. Please tell me that I will be ok!!! just joking! Are you telling me to "take three aspirin and call me in morning?"..
I have thought about this project for a couple years but realize now it is not a project, it is a connection or extension of who I am !! and I haven't even started yet!!
I am looking forward to meeting other Dear Jane enthusiasts, so please leave comments..I do so live near Shipshewhana Indiana, less than an hour away....I would love to have traveling Janers'...retreats, etc in my cabin........My bottom line goal is to piece a legacy for my family, I am a history enthusiast since a kid so...I am pumped up!!
