Brr. It's cold and nasty out today, wind and sleet - perfect day for staying and and sewing away! I'm staying warm under a couple layers of quilts today, sewing on some overdue labels again - I can't believe I have 10 more that need them sewn on already.
I print the labels on white fabric, then add a colorful border so they look a little nicer. Then I pin them on and stitch them while sitting and watching TV with my husband. Nice to have some hand stitching on a stormy day like today!
Yesterday I managed to finish two more blocks for my Crazy Jane -
I had to applique the center on this one twice. The first time I accidentally sewed it on with the crosses going the wrong way. Grrr!
This one was a little easier, and just a touch of applique for the center diamond. Seems like most of these blocks have applique - I think I skipped those and worked on the pieced ones first, so now I have most of those to do now that I'm near the end...shame on me!
Now I'm off to the sewing room to tackle a couple more blocks. I hope you are having a pleasant day of stitching, too!
Linking up with Kathy Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

Oh what a great block, so precise! Glad to see that you label your quilts!
Beautiful work and colors. Probably a good thing you forgot that all the applique blocks were left :)
YES! Nice to see someone else working on Dear Jane. Keeps me motivated...
