The way home from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

What's with the crazy weather? We had crazy rain for most of the day, and how about that wind? I don't think we had any issues at our house, but you can hear the house creaking in the wind, and those little bathroom vents flap like crazy!

The girls were thrilled to see me, and I managed to walk with each of them between the rain. I got lucky because this wasn't just rain - it was torrential rain driven by the wind. Fortunately, whenever the rain started, I was snuggled up with a quilt in my chair ...

Jacks Chain Quilt with Dear Jane Blocks from On Point Quilter

My friend Sherry Perry recently posted a picture on her Facebook account of a Dear Jane quilt she did in the Jack's Chain layout.

Dear Jane Exchange Quilt by Sherry Perry of Maple Grove MN

Scroll down to see a tutorial on how to create this layout (with blocks of your choice) using Electric Quilt.

I met Sherry when we were part of a fledgling group that met monthly to talk about and work on our Dear Jane quilts. The group was formed in 2000 by JoAnn Atkins at a local quilt shop.

The group ended up enjoying being ...

"Een bezoekje van Sjaan" from Supergoof Quilts

Vandaag hebben we er Sjaan

maar eens bij gevraagd.

Sjaan is de bijnaam voor de Dear Jane quilt.

Die naam was een begrip in de blogjaren dat de bloggers samen on-line Dear Jane blokjes aan het maken waren.

Omdat veel van de Diamanten,

uit het boek van Linda Franz,

geïnspireerd zijn op de Sjaan blokjes,

wilde Kleine Muis,

de nieuwe Diamanten graag showen op de Dear Jane Quilt.

Nummero 1,...

En dan zijn het er ineens 3,...

En op de C-lijn van Sjaan ligt ook nog een verdwaalde Diamant,

die Kleine Muis er natuurlijk ook graag bij wil hebben.

Vier ...

Dear Jane Revisited from On Point Quilter

Electric Quilt just released the Dear Jane Add-on for EQ. As I have been playing with the new software this week, I have also been reflecting on my Dear Jane journey. In this post I will share a part of that journey (and a few of my Dear Jane quilts). I will also share a really cool new feature from the add-on software in my EQ8 video tutorial.

My Dear Jane Journey

My love of Dear Jane began in June 2000 (almost 20 years ago) when a new guild was being started by JoAnn Atikins (now the owner of Four ...

Dear Jane Row D from Espritpatch

My poor Dear Jane must feel abandoned again. I had blocks with me on every one of my work trip but I did stitch one thread at all. No time on the way in or while away and no energy left after the business meetings so no sewing on the way back either. Finally I managed to pick it up again during the Christmas break and finished D2 Mouse in the Mirror. This one was started in October during our last holidays.

We had so many hours in the car that I also managed to complete D12 Crossed Swords

And ...

A blast from the past from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Yipeee - it's a FREE day today. I have one thing on the calendar and it's totally my call if I go or not. It's a used book sale - of course, I'm going!

I bailed from the meeting I was supposed to go to last night. After the three classes and all the stuff that went on in the last couple of weeks, I was tired. So I came home, had dinner with DH and then sat and read my book. It was glorious! I even ignored my alarm this morning. Well, after I shut it off ...

Jana´s Quilt-Sampler from Sticksuse

Lange, lange hat es gedauert.

Nun ist er endlich fertig.

Mein Quilt-Sampler.

Begonnen im Jahr 2009!!!

Eigentlich sollte es eine Tagesdecke in Doppelbett-Größe werden.

Nun ist es ein Wandbehang geworden und er macht sich sehr gut in meinem neuen Nähzimmer.

Die einzelnen Blöcke habe ich mit der Quilt-as-you-go Methode zusammen gefügt.

Die Blöcke habe ich also bereits vorher gequiltet.

Manche mit der Hand, andere mit der Maschine.

Bei Pinterest sind noch einmal fast alle Blöcke einzeln zu sehen.

Dear Jane, unos pocos más from labores con encanto

Estos bloques los he hecho estos días, a pesar de que ya tengo muchos hechos aún no he sido capaz de completar una fila.

Es necesario que empiece ya a completar filas para poder unirlos pues tanto tiempo con los bloques para acá y para allá corro el riesgo de que acaben deshilachándose

El Dear Jane que va y viene, tutorial A1 from labores con encanto

A pesar de las numerosísimas tareas que tengo en marcha, no lo puedo remediar, he hecho otra incursión en el Dear Jane.Esta vez me he apuntado a un grupo español y a otro inglés, a ver si de esta manera me obligo a cumplir con los plazos y avanzo un poco la tarea.
Yo ya tengo muchos bloques hechos, algunos aún no los he publicado, pero precisamente el primero es el único que hice hace un montón de años cuando inicialmente proyecté hacer el quilt sobre fondo oscuro, así que lo he vuelto a hacer, esta vez sobre fondo ...
