Some Dear Jane progress again...finally
Last night I sat and stitched the last bit of the bottom border on to the quilt. I'm slowly making progress... Now to get the rest of the borders ready to stitch, will make it easier when we move to have a "little" hand project while the sewing machine is in transit, LOL. I don't really have a desk for it yet, we plan to build the office later, so will need to get a cheap temporary fix for computer/sewing desk. I might just take a little break from machine sewing for a while and focus on hand sewing, after August 25th, our (hopefully) official moving date!

yeah right -- little hand sewing project!! it is a good idea to have a plan while your sewing machine is in transit though :-)
Cathi I am in awe of your Dear Jane. This is turning our just stunning! Where do you find the time to get so much done on this? I don't recall reading what your plans for Dear Jane are once it is finished? What a treasure you have beautifully created.
Oh, your Dear Jane is so, so beautiful.
All I can say is WOW. One day, I am going to attempt this quilt. Yours is gorgeous. Makes we want to abandon all others and start this one.
this is really beautiful - hand work is a wonderful thing to tide you over when your machine isn't available -
Wow your DJ looks so good. LOL I hate handsewing myself, so try to do that as little as I can. Lucky for me with my last move I wasn't sewing yet.
25th will be here before you know it!
Your DJ is just beautiful. Congratulations on getting so close to finishing!
*hugs*

So wonderful, your DJ. What an accomplishment, and done so well. It will be a family heirloom for sure.
Your DJ is wonderful - 3 borders left isn't much after all you've finished! Are you just moving houses?
Hi Cathi, I've scrolled trough you whole blog and saw the most beautiful work and great ideas! I was wondering if you ever have time to sleep. To little sweet kids too!

Your DJ is coming along beautifully :-) I have to try some liberated letter piecing one of these days. Yours looks smashing good. I am contemplating another DJ, in 6" blocks, in 2 colours. Oh - it must be the heat frying my brain ;-) 25. will be here before you know. Happy planning !
Cathi,
Your quilt is gorgeous! This is my first encounter with DJ, and it totally impresses me that you’ve got one to this point. Simply beautiful.
Maybe you’ll get to practice a little CQ while you’re without machine – just in time . Thank you for sharing your lovely work. Charlene in SC
Wow, what a beautiful Dear Jane quilt! I've always admired them but knew I didn't have the patience to work on one quilt for that long. How long have you been working on it?
