Dear Jane.....

My Dear Jane journey started in 2009 and after abut 18 months I was over it! My patience ran out, so the project was shelved, until mid 2011 Sandra at Foothills - Tecoma showed me a pic of a quilt she saw on her US travels which incorporated a "DJ" style block. After a light bulb moment and some pattern drafting - Jane's School house was born. Each school house incorporates the finished DJ blocks.

Another creation.

Gorgeous Gingerbread house made by the very clever 5 yo Caitlyn!

Another one...

I made this one recently for a long time friend of ours.

More finishes......

Bunches of Origami flowers made from vintage music paper and vintage buttons and knitting needles. I made several bunches as Xmas gifts, but still have to make some for myself!

More finishes for 2011

I actually made the welcome sign many years ago, but still love it.






















Selvedge Quilt. I saw this on a blog and then had to make one. Thanks to all my friends who supplied me with selvedges!!! Very happy with it and I am keen to make another!!!




















Thangles quilt - a monthly program run by Mrs Martins a few years ago and I finally got mine finished!!

Cute wall hanging

This one is a pattern by Cathy Baynes - Willow Valley Store. Cath is an awesome designer and her patterns are so easy to follow.

Some new completions

The first pic is of a little coaster made for Thomas. I had previously made one for his sister, Caitlyn. Now mummy has asked for her own coaster, so I need to make another one. They are small and fun and don't take long to do.


The 2nd and 3rd pics are from a recently attended workshop with Viv Robinson, where I made this lovely piece for my friend Karen's birthday. Rather than frame it traditionally, I decided to frame it in an embroidery hoop. I was pretty pleased with the final product, as was Karen.
