Where did February go!!!
This month passed by with only 1 Dear Jane block completed.
March is a new month and I plan to get back on track.
I thought I would take a minute to show you how I plan out a row.
I did manage to get that done.

1. I made these sleeves by sealing the normal flap of a 6" x 9"envelope
and cutting off a small sliver on the 9" side.
2. I numbered them 1 - 13.
3. I layout my quilt top and select my fabric for the next row, fold
it to fit and put it in the envelope.
4. I am using The EQ Dear Jane software for most of my blocks.
I print out the entire row I am working on and fold on the lines
so they will be ready for foundation piecing.
5. Now I can just pick up an envelope and get started.

If you are serious about making Dear Jane I recommend
using the software. You can order it here.
Oh Cheryl, I'm so awed by the blocks you've already completed and your organization. Gorgeous. And I'm a bit jealous - I've had the Dear Jane book forever, but haven't made one block yet! Now you tell me EQ has software for it? Now I have no excuse! One question for you... do you know if I need to have EQ to use the DJ software?
ReplyDeleteSherryl, you do not need the EQ software to use Dear Jane. No excuses now.
DeleteSheryl your organization is amazing...what a great way to attack those rows👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job. Good planning
ReplyDeleteI finished my Dear Jane last month after working on it off and on for over ten years. If I had to do it over again, I would work from the center out.
