Dear Jane

This is my second finished Dear Jane square, B13. It took me less than the entirety of Hoosiers on Sunday night, and that movie is less than 2 hours long. I'd say around an hour and a half to do, and I had to rip out one of the corner squares because I'd sewn it in with the diamonds pointing in the wrong direction. Definitely an improvement! I started on a different one last night, block A8, but wasn't able to finish before bed and didn't want to start staying up late to finish, especially on a Monday night. It's a bad habit for me to get back into.

Helping me along with things is this book, which I picked up on Saturday when Rob and I went to Borders to spend George Bush money that hasn't even come yet. Rob is like that--money burns a hole right through his pocket. Anyway, the book kept coming up in my online reading about hand-piecing, and it has amazing feedback on Amazon.com. Of course, in my rush to keep going, I haven't really read the book, mostly just looked at the pictures. I know, I know... But I should read it. I will try.

I'd been working on some posts about my crafty book shelf, but now those will have to be redone as, on Saturday, I added another shelf for the crafty books (since the one I have is already full) and I ordered two more books. But it is my intention to post pictures, links, and reviews of sorts for all of my crafty books, so stay tuned...
