Finally on my bed - Dear Jane Light

Dear Jane Light - started maybe 20 years ago.   I worked on it off and on and finally decided to tweak the design.   I substituted blank squares for half the blocks and spread out the border as well.  So it's so much lighter looking than the original Dear Jane.   And much less work. 

It received tepid reviews at the two    quilt shows that I entered it in, but I love it anyway.  It looks better on the bed than it did hanging in a show, anyway.

 

Another Glorious Weekend in Stonewall

I love quilting retreats.
I love Emilie's Haus.
I love my friends.
I especially love quilting retreats at Emilie's Haus with friends.

So I have had a really lovely weekend. Good food, great weather.
Basted the quilt I'm giving Donna for her 50th birthday in March and started quilting it. I forgot the foot pedal to my Bernina, so I could only quilt when Pat was doing something else and I could borrow her pedal, but I still got a lot done.
I also added sashing to a collection of blocks that I won in a block exchange in New Braunfels in 2005, squared them up, and sewed them together. For this, I used Kay's Featherweight.
