This is my DJ Christmas Swap block wall hanging. It still needs to be bound, but I wanted to publish here because I have signed up for a fall frolic swap that will be similar but with fall colors. I wanted those that are thinking of signing up to see what they could have :) and maybe that will get more participants! Great way to get beautiful DJ blocks from talented ladies (and maybe men) all over! So, come on and join the fun!!!!

This is the quilt I am doing for the Utah State Fair Quilt challenge. Each year in September at the fair, you can purchase a fat quarter of the challenge fabric (the backing of this quilt). You then have until the next fair to come up with a quilt to enter. I have done this challenge with my friends Sue C. and Ruthie D. for the past 2 years. So, even though I moved to Ohio, I had to do this year's quilt. I chose to do a patriotic theme because my son, Tim, has served in Iraq in the Air Force during this year. We owe a lot to our men and women who are serving, so this quilt is for them! Now, just to finish quilting and get it bound by mid-August!Labels: Fair Quilt

This is my top, almost finished. I decided to tea-dye the entire thing! This is only funny to my close friends who never thought they would see me tea-dye anything. But, there were some marks on my quilt that I just couldn't live with, so tea-dye I did. Then my camera decided not to work, so I really didn't get any good pics of her before taking to Sue Baddley who is quilting my DJ for me. I have decided I will change her name from Teacher Jane to Tea with Jane. I think this more explains my journey with this quilt. I will post a pic of Tea with Jane when I get her back from Sue, or I get to Ohio!

Hi. My name is Susan and I live in Ohio with my 2 DDs, 2 Dogs, and 2 cats. I love quilting and finished my Dear Jane quilt, Tea with Jane, in March 2008. I am involved in DJ siggy block swaps. My current projects include working on the Civil War Diaries Quilt and a lonestar quilt! It is amazing to me how quilting can bring women from all around the world together. Hope you enjoy my blog.
