Finally, back to Dear Jane

I've been ignoring my Dear Jane blocks for months. I enjoy working on them and I've finished about 120, but I have no finished quilt to show for the hours spent, and that's kind of frustrating. So I set it aside until this weekend. Finally -- two more done.


The blue block is J-8, Anna's Anchor. Easy machine piecing, and I machine appliqued the tear drops. I'm not a purist about these blocks. I'm adhering to a phrase I'm finding all over the web, which is "done is better than perfect." I'm like my friend Vicki -- if I don't do it by machine, I won't get them done.


The brown block is L-5 Chattanooga Charlie. Easy machine piecing.

I'm way behind in reading posts, but that will have to wait until Tuesday. I'm putting the final touches on a continuing education lesson I'll give at a meeting. I'm a medical transcriptionist, and I'm a former English teacher. Put those two careers together, and I guess it's logical that I present little lessons at our meetings now and then. They're short and I try to make them painless, but my goal is serious. I review guidelines we're to follow in our work, spelling and grammar problems, and easily confused words like tract and track, or site and cite and sight. Back to my lesson plan.
