Yesterday I managed to finish one more Dear Jane block E-12 and got started on another one.  Other than that I got some Dear Jane E-12more quilting done on the quilting frame.  No work on the Dutchman’s Puzzle – I am thinking on that one and which direction to go on it from here.  That is the trouble when you aren’t working with a complete pattern and making it up as you go!  This block is actually straighter than it appears – I really have to work on my camera skills :)

Finally our winter weather will be going back to normal today.  After 3 days of 24 or below we are tired of it.  We have had nighttime temperatures in the teens – too cold for Arkansas!

Yesterdays question was Which term does not belong? border, prairie points,  piping, and scallop.  The answer is border.  The others are different ways to finish  borders.

This link  on prairie points will show you how to make them, go to page 6 of the link for step by step instructions.

This link leads you to a google book search on borders.  If you go to page 95 you will find instructions on how to do piping.

This link will bring you to a tool that helps you make scallop borders, it also shows you how to put the binding on.

A- Articles of clothing

B- Sewing Tools

C- Quilting Patterns
