Dear Jane in Norway

Hi!  My daughter Marit and I just started a Mother-and-daughter DJ Quilt-along.  We will take turn to choose 10 blocks at a time, and we are aiming at 2 blocks per week.  Hers will be light grey, blue and purple, while mine will be white and red. 

Hopefully, we will be tagging along with all of you other Janiac's out there, seeking advice and support when needed :-)  As of now, we can enjoy sewing outdoors surrounded by the beautiful scenery at the northwestern coast of Norway!  The link to my blog is here.

Four Rotary Cut & Machine Pieced Blocks

I just shared my technique for these four blocks.

I do some photo editing after I take the pics and
honestly sometimes they look wonkier
- they really do look pretty darn good in person. 

Thanks so much for starting this blog girls, it will definitely help me to keep this project moving along!

I started my DJ a few years ago, I have the software and have found it an excellent way to get and keep organised.

I'm doing my DJ in 1930's fabrics with a white background. I never really liked Civil War fabrics, but in the last few years I have come to like them so wish I started in them, but never mind, I still love the 1930's so I'll have a nice, bright Jane!

(Oh, and on another note, I have started the Farmer's Wife quilt in Civil War fabrics ... but that's a whole other story!!!)

So far, I've completed 46 blocks, which are all the beginner ones according to the software. I'm hand-piecing them all, which is my first ever hand-pieced project. I pretend I'm Jane, sitting at night stitching!!

Here are my most recent blocks, and hopefully I'll have another newly completed one to post soon!
