I never meant for this to turn into a quilting blog. I assumed I would engage in many crafty-sewing activities and then share them here. But this is where it's headed, it appears. I am currently working on this quilt above for Sean (husband), hand piecing hexagons which will someday be something quilt-like, and participating in the Sew, Mama, Sew! quilt month. Maybe it's the weather and once spring appears I'll want to make skirts and cute handbags.
I was out of commission for so long last week that I need some time to catch up. I completely missed the last Sew, Mama, Sew! blocks. And I had planned on having many more blocks completed on Sean's quilt.
And, get this, I've now signed myself up to work on a Dear Jane quilt. (Huh? Wha??) Anina of Twiddletails is recruiting participants to sew along with her as she embarks on piecing a Dear Jane quilt. She even started a new blog for the occasion. The book to help guide me through this massive quilt should be delivered in a couple of days. And I'll be going to the fabric store this weekend to pick out some new fabric.
Sean has come to terms with his quilt being completed for NEXT winter...maybe.
And thank you to everyone who commented on my last, sickly post. I really appreciate it! I am feeling much better just still a bit tired.

Very nice progress on Sean's quilt! I am glad you are feeling better.
Your husband's quilt is going to be a stunner.
the quilt is looking great!
Hi Jen, thanks for stopping by my blog! I was too busy to take the leftover fabric to Goodwill this weekend - if you're still interested send me your address and I'll get a box in the mail!
At least you set realistic goals! The quilt looks great. I too am glad you are feeling better. That flu was a killer I tell you.
Jen, you've got the quilting addiction, best make peace with that and head to the fabric store. I always feel like quilting in the winter.
Ha, so you're one of Anina's victims? I'm really looking forward to seeing all those Dear Janes
I LOVE the blocks for your husband's quilt. The way that plaid is pieced with the dark solid is really striking.
(My husband has also been waiting patiently for me to finish a quilt for him.)
I love this block. You'll do fine with the Baby Jane, just take it slow and one block at the time.
