I'm Back Blogging

I've been away from blogging for awhile but I still have been reading blogs. I keep telling my self I should get something posted but other things seem to come up.

My parents have been having health problems and really need to make other living arrangements. But they are not ready to admit it. I'm hoping by the end of summer my brothers and I can convince them this is the best for them with out forcing them.

I took a break from sewing the last couple months after reaching some goals. My goal when I started the stash quilt ring, about a year ago was to get some of my quilt projects finished at least to flimsy stage. I am proud to say I'm down to 8 projects in progress. 2 I just started. I finished 11 projects some, had been around for awhile. I also did 2 of Judy's quilt an hour quilts and I finished hand quilting 5 quilts. And used up a lot of my old stash.



Starting with the new. Here's 2 Dear Jane blocks. I'm playing with colors and lay out yet. I don't think I'm going to copy the whole quilt exactly. Some blocks I'm not going to do. I will sub in some I make up on my own and I'm not sure about the color lay out. They sure are small.



I also got this new quilt book. I was going to do the quilt on the front cover first. But changed my mind and decided on this one. I already have the most of the pieces cut out. I love this book by Kim Diehl.
