I decided to set up my Dear Jane block making station in my downstairs sewing/laundry room again and I've been able to whip out a few JanieBright blocks while doing other things, like cooking and cleaning.

I'm back in the saddle again!
Sorry the photos are flipped sideways. I will get the hang of blogging again, I promise. Thank you all for the encouragement. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some time to play around with things.

It's amazing how much I can get done while doing something else...as long as I don't forget what I was doing in the first place...which has happened a time or two...lol

Did blogger change this Summer???
Cause I am having ALL kinds of trouble uploading pictures!!! I tried my regular way of emailing them to my blogspot address and it went to my Gmail account instead...hmmm...if anyone knows how to do this will you please help me!
Just a quick recap of a long....hot....hot....did I say HOT Summer!!! Things started out super busy because Emily, our oldest daughter, graduated from the University of Kansas in May and a week later, our youngest daughter, Allie graduated from Stillwater High school! YAY!!! Here is a picture of my three girls right before Allie's graduation.
Then Emily and I left to take my mom to Taos, New Mexico. My Mom has always wanted to live there, so she rented a condo for a month and I think she enjoyed it, but was glad to come home. Didn't really take any pictures except this one and Emily may have taken it.
I did manage to finish piecing my Cracked Pots quilt though. And what a lot of piecing it was. I was really, really happy to finish this! Yvette's version is in Civil War red, white and blues and mine is all Jo Morton fabrics. The pattern is by Carrie Nelson.
If these photos look crappy it's because I took them with my phone. I must get in the habit of using a camera again.
I also made Allie an 18th birthday quilt...and I finished it much faster than I did her baby quilt, which took me 14 years to finish. LOL! Well I had little kids and I hand quilted it! Maybe I'll show a picture of the baby quilt one day, but here is the birthday quilt. It's an Amy Butler free pattern and it's all AB fabric.
Okay, time to get busy. It's taken me over an hour to do this post...yikes! I've lost all of my skills. Should I try the new blogger interface? What is it anyway? And why do things have to be so complicated? LOL I've got lots more to share and I'll be back soon. I hope all my US friends have a wonderful Labor Day!
