When my mom came to visit in 2012 we started a strip quilt together with the girl fabrics from Sarah Jane’s Children at Play line (I’ve earned a reputation as making my guests work) and I had everything but the binding finished this past spring. When my mom came to visit in October I realized it would be perfect if she got to help me finish the quilt she helped me start! We had two nights to work on the binding (hand sewing it down to the back of the quilt) and after the first night we realized that it probably just wasn’t going to happen for us. We were shocked to find that on the second night we were just cruising and we finished it!
So….checking in on my sewing list for 2013 I get to cross one thing else off the list!
– Finish the bow tie quilt
– Finish the boy colorway Children at Play improv quilt
– Girl colorway Children at Play strip quilt (top finished, need back)
– Weekender bag (in progress)
– Advent elf
– Finish the full set of Jesse tree ornaments
– Sew something with knit fabric
I think I’ll be able to cross off the Jesse tree ornaments before January 1st but I think the rest of this list will sadly be passed on to 2014!
Sherry - Love the quilt, it came out beautiful! I have a question. What is the elf advent? Sounds like a cute project/idea.
Jane Hines - You are an amazing roll model for all women. I am sure little girls would want to grow up to be like you.
Reminds me when the nuns in school told us “idle time ” was a no-no. So you must be sin free because you have zero idle time. Lol
Your quilts are easy to practice for the beginner (me) to the advanced. Beautiful quilts!
But I can’t find the tutorials for them. I wanted to make some of your patterns. I am a newby so I do need instructions.
Could you help me with this?
Thanks a bunch, Jane Hines♡
