[DEAR] JANE STICKLE CYBER BLOCK PARTY - Jan 2010 thru May/Jun 2011
#721
I am just playing with the software right now, it is pretty easy, I have figured out a lot by just clicking on things, I have finished the first lesson. :roll:
I have a hard time just doing one of anything, that is why I figure that if I make it all the way through I will have more than one Jane to show for it, and I get very impatient at times and have extra time usually (no that there isn't housework etc but I can block that voice out usually) being a stay at home mom with teen kids gives me a little extra time to do things like this, I will just be using what I have on hand, so who knows what it will look like, I will try and keep to the value of what is used but no garentees on that either, I have issues following what others do.

For awhile there it seemed muslin was getting a bad rap. It used to be popular to use as a background fabric but with all the various fabrics having come out since the 80's & 90's, muslin has sort of fallen by the wayside. I love the stuff and am glad to see there are still people out there who enjoy working with it.

I would recommend pre-shrinking it before using it - even if the bolt end says "pre-shrunk"

it will be interesting at the end to figure out how many blocks i was able to alter into paper piecing.

Slap me with a wet noodle and call me stupid.....
I'm considering doing two. Or changing my original plan.
I love the Dear Jane at Sea picture posted a while ago, I can see that with the blocks done in black and white, and the sashing done in black and white and either electric blue or lime green.
Decisions decisions!

I mentioned awhile back that I had finished A-1 and A-2. In the first picture, If this goes through, is A-1 in green batik, the second one is A-1 in civil war and the third is A-2 in cival war.
What do you think? This is my first time trying to post a picture
