Dear Jane is a Flimsy!!

After 10 years, my Dear Jane is finally a flimsy.  She has been through hurricanes, swim meets, road trips, holidays, and so much more.

At Thanksgiving I knew I was close to finishing.  Since I had started on December 29, 2014 I knew that I had to try to finish at the 10 year mark.  It was the push I needed to get it done.  The center was complete, the triangle blocks were finished, and the solid triangles were cut.  So it was just a matter of attaching the triangles and finishing the corner kites.  Very doable.  Every week I got a little bit more done.  

Little S did the final embroidery.

Last night Little S, who is now College S, put the last stitches in the embroidery (my eyes just can't do that anymore) and I sewed the last kite corner into position.  WOW!  WOW!  WOW!

Last kite corner for Dear Jane. 

My idea for the scallops is to sew a long strip to each side and quilt over it.  After all the quilting is done, I will mark and cut the scallops and then bind.  

Finished Flimsy

I am very pleased with the outcome and with myself for sticking with it.  Every project after this is going to seem easy peasy!

Linking up to Kate's Life in Pieces to share progress.

It's Been Quite a While

It's been over 2 years since my last post.  It seems like forever.  A lot has happened, but I haven't stopped sewing and I have even kept lots of notes on lots of little pieces of paper since I like to document my progress one way or another!  I hope that making myself accountable to the blog will help me find a better balance with work in the future as well. 

So as we finish out 2024, I have successfully completed the first part of my goal - I have gotten back into my account!  Big win for me since I am not techy at all.  Patience and persistence on a rainy day!

My next step in the return to blogging is to figure out how to get pictures to this computer.  I can do this.

Stay tuned - I had HUGE HUGE HUGE finish yesterday that needs to be reported/documented/celebrated since it was 10 years in the making!!!
