I scanned and saved the photo to my computer. It looks normal on my computer, but when I add it to my blog it looks warbley (I know it's not a word :) ) I've resized the block before adding it from normal to small and it still does the same thing. My last DJ block did the same thing as well.
My sewing machine ate it a couple of times, but it's finished. First the Hawk is hungry and now my sewing machine. Hmmmmmmmmmm maybe I could use a snack myself.
I'm sure there must have been an easier way to make this block. For some reason I couldn't get the foundation block to print out so I printed about a dozen pictures of the block and cut them up and paper pieced them back together.
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first Dear Jane block I've finished since I added my 'Dear Jane Progress' button on the right side of my blog. It took some remembering to put that little picture of K-5 in the chart....Phewwww!
You can click on that to see my other blocks.....only 4 in total....grin.
I finally finished my M-11 DJ block, scanned it into my computer, posted it in the Jan folder on the DJ yahoo group and discovered a small tear in the fabric. (insert appropriate swear word here)
I will pray it disappears. Sometimesssss miracles happen.....grin. If not, I guess I'll redo it later after I've had some more experience with DJ. In other words, I'm sick of this block.....LOLLLL.
This is my first try at a Dear Jane block. Not sure if I'll do more or not. You can definitely see my stitches. I was using silk thread, but I guess it was too light. It's so fine that I didn't think it would show.
The A-7 block on the Dear Jane CD is different from the one in Brenda's book.
