Charity Project Completed

One of the quilting groups that I belong to does a charity project for children each Christmas. For this year's project we were to buy a bed pillow and make two pillowcases, one from Christmas fabric and the other from fabric that a child would like. I bought four pillows and made eight pillowcases this week. Especially thrilling for me was that I got this finished two weeks before the due date and that all of the fabric that I needed for this project came from my stash. I didn't have to buy any fabric or thread, just the pillows. I hope that the children like my choices.

More Dear Jane Blocks

The Dear Jane quilt has taken over all of my free time during the day. I seem to gravitate toward these little blocks. I guess that it's the charm of working with little bits of fabric rather than cutting yardage. I also love the challenge of piecing the blocks. Some of them have more than twenty little pieces. At this moment I'm approaching the one hundred block spot, only sixty-nine more blocks to go. Then its on to the triangles around the perimeter. The triangles also have many pieces per triangle. My hope now is to post more regularly. Happy sewing to all!
