Jane at Thanksgiving

Carolyn has gently pointed out that I'm slacking again with the progress posts. The long weekend was productive on the Dear Jane front--you can now trace my path through the house by the trail of discarded tiny freezer paper templates. Above is Widow's Pane. Hand pieced under the influence between lulls in eating at Thanksgiving.

Dee Dee's Delight. Appliqued. Lots of pointy tips--argh!

Jane's Tears. My first go at reverse applique--I'll definitely be using this technique more often! (I vaguely remember a cheesy Star Trek episode playing in the background. Velour uniform alert.)

Bennington Cross. Hand pieced. My first border triangle--it took several episodes of Law and Order to get through this one.

The Unst Stole received attention this weekend, too, but edging progress is not especially exciting in photograph. I'll post something when I'm at the halfway point, sometime this week.

Look at you! You are really making good progress. Are you trying to finish the quilt by a specific date?

Library school? Which one? I got my MLIS in 2003 at Dominican University, a stone's throw from where Heidi used to live near Chicago.

I love them as usual and am amazed at your productivity. I can crochet under the influence, but doubt if I could do any serious cutting and fitting.

Wow, are you doing these in any order of difficulty? I'm imagining a curvy/pointy Bennington cross as the ultimate evil.

Wow, these are beautiful! It was nice to meet you (at rhinebeck, ages ago I know I am slow :) even if it was so quickly and I called you the wrong name. Doh! So sorry about that.
