Dear Jane Progress and Rainbow Scrappy Challenge catch up

Dear Jane quilt - English Paper Piecing, removing the papers.
Dear Jane quilt - English Paper Piecing, removing the papers.
I have had a few days where I have spent time moving a few projects forward.  Firstly, the Dear Jane quilt has been pulled out and I have made a big effort to remove all the papers. This is slow.  Very slow.  I have done over half, but I have now left it out so that I can go and pick at it in odd moments.  Once this is done I need to count all the pieces so that I can embroider the total on the corner block.

Then I saw that the September colour for the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge had been released.  I know that my progress on this had lapsed, but when I looked back I realised I was 5 months behind.  Again, I pulled out my remaining Kim Diehl fabrics and cut enough to keep me quiet for a while.  I sewed a few, but some serious machine stitching time is required on this one.

Finally, for a second time, I forgot to enter Suzi into the 2017 Pets on Quilts competition.  So please enjoy this photo of her.

    Good luck paper pulling. It's got to be sooo tedious but knowing you are more than halfway must put the brightest light at the end of the tunnel. It's a gorgeous quilt and well worth the remaining paper pulling.

    Hello Suzi-darling. I love when pussycats pose holding their own paws.

    Oh my yes, that is a lot of paper to pop out! I am looking forward to seeing what the rainbow project brings. And Suzi has my vote as A#1 cat one quilt!

    Oh I don't envy you the paper removing task at all! Lovely photo of Suzi, how old is she?

    Dear Suzi,

    As the gracious winner of Best Cat on a Quilt, I can say "Better late than never." But I should also gently suggest that you consider a better training program for your staff.

    Respectfully,

    Molly
