Back to Dear Jane

 


It felt good to work on something "new" this weekend after working for two months on Double Date.  I am halfway through Row I of Dear Jane.   Because I'm sewing in the basement these days away from my stash, I bought two charm packs in bright colors to give me the variety my stash would have given me.  A couple of the blocks - #4 and 5 - have hand applique which went well, and #6 had some fusible applique.  #3 was paper pieced, and today I'll work on paper piecing #7, a pineapple-like block.

We had lovely weather this weekend - sunny, not humid, temperatures in the 70s and low 80s.  I should have worked in the flower beds but didn't feel like it.  That's the great thing about retirement.    We finished watching the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice on PBS last night - always a treat.
