Jane Baby

She is Done, 1030 pm Wednesday night......she is not perfect...she is finished....a long journey, even
if it was only 7 months from start to finish....determination, regardless of
how I felt, got her finished....

I must admit I enjoyed the two Farmer's Wife Quilts I did more than Dear Jane.....250 blocks is a long tedious paper pieced Trail but, I am glad for the paper patterns that I could use for them......sew, she is
done.  She is marked off my bucket list.....the scallops are bond and this time, hand sewn.  My daughters Swoon is also finished and has binding on it. Ready to ship to Ohio this fall.

Leah's Swoon
This is a very good day to have a good day.

We pray those is Florida will be safe in the coming storm and some areas already feeling the affects.  We will get up to 5 inches here also......people are
Jane Scallops
already getting ready for the storm.  Being from the Midwest I am not sure
why you get ready for 5 inches of rain.....we live on a bluff with no rivers near
by.....i do admit the drainage systems here are not that adequate so rain does do
damage in places.

Please enjoy Labor Day Weekend and the last bit of summer..........here we are
clapping our hands.......we are ready for cooler days ahead.

Stitchin' Soul

                                             Elation Day!!  It was yesterday!  Still feelin' it!!

My Dear Jane Baby (with attitude) got her souls last stitch at 530 pm
August 25th 2016!!!  Started her journey in February and as some of


you may know I have had sciatica since I started her.  I would love
to say the pain is gone....when I finished her up....but it is not, but it
is improving.  I am going up stairs better now....we are strengthening
the smaller Gluteal Muscle.....my nights can still be problematic....
but I keep Quilting....just shorter times standing at my Suziebell or sitting
at the sewing machine....

So,  I am happy to say I have 3 heirloom quilts ready for our 3 kids.....my gift
to them....later....2 Farmer Wives and 1 Dear Jane.....

I am figuring out what top to do next....I think it will be my Granny Square I
Last Stitch to Complete her "Soul"
pieced a couple years ago while snowbound in our cabin in Indiana.

My hub did finish the back metal roof....we did the pressure washer on theback siding (SC has a problem with algae growing on siding in summer)....
next job?....get the plastic up on our gothic greenhouse so we can order the2nd one.....retirement is a journey.....you have to have energy for!!!

Enjoy the photos and please have a blessed day.....rejoice in the Lord!!



Love My Suziebell!!

Just a Process of Patience and Perserverence
Quilted Blessings!!
