The past week in the workroom I have quilted Leanne's quilt which had a lovely navy cotton sateen backing, the pattern Springtime showed up lovely on it.
Next I quilted Kim's lovely star sampler with Feather Spray. It's such a pretty quilt I have added a photo to show the quilt and one to show the quilting.
And what have I been working on? Have I finished my pink and brown quilt you ask? NO
Have I finished my Bendigo siggie quilt? NO
Have I finished my Bendigo siggie Bento Box...NO but I have done some work on it. (see below, this is nearly the size of the quilt in the book, only a small wallhanging)
So what HAVE I been doing????
Yes you guessed it, started another project!!!!!
AND not just any old project........but Dear Jane no less!!!!!!!! Yes yes I can hear you all say I am mad and I agree, the queen of WIP's starting DJ..... http://www.dearjane.com/
Well I tell myself I only have to complete a block a week for 163 (?) weeks and maybe a triangle thrown in there somewhere.......anyway I have made two blocks, the block of the week from last
week and this week, B-8 is this weeks, Water Lily. I was pleased with the piecing but the needleturn was a bit wonky as I am very rusty. Last weeks was M-11 Rickshaw, no easy task for my first block, all those little diamonds!
and if thats not bad enough I also started Sylvias Bridal Sampler as in the Elm Creek Quilts. I have done Jacob's Ladder which I think was last weeks Block of the Week Challenge.

Dare I say you are a glutton for punishment........Dear Jane!!
I guess it goes with the love of old things and your passion for perfection.
I am still to finish block one of Oriental Baltimore. I am actually having to sew at sit and sew again. I got by for a while there by playing hostess or reading or??
I actually finished a leaf and a half this week. My coach sits to my left. She is tough. But is also a saint who has prepared the blocks for me so she has worked out the link to my conscience which is a problem. Vbg.
Hi! I just found your blog. I started my Dear Jane last week too. I am going to attempt to remake both of my blocks this weekend. UGH! Your blocks look perfect.
