B9 (Dear Jane)

Dear Jane,
I started B9 a few days ago thinking that, with only 13 pieces, it would be a slam dunk! Aagh! It was a nightmare. My first attempt was promptly discarded . . . it couldn’t be salvaged. I then spent a few days trying to psyche myself up to try it again. This afternoon, I marched back into my sewing room, quickly picked out some new fabric (switching the lights/darks on the block this time around for a new twist) and went to it. I’m quite proud of the results. I really like how the stripes converge.
Snow has been falling most of the day! I bet that we have 3 inches, which is VERY rare here in Frisco, TX. Ariana and Vivi bundled up and went outside for a bit to play in it, but we don’t even own gloves for them, so their adventure was brief. I’ve got a yummy pot of homemade chili simmering on the stove (Yes! I re-sewed B9 AND made dinner today!) which will be the perfect dinner for our chilly day.
Love,
Lori
Hi Lori….I started Dear Jane on Feb. 12…..I have rented a padded cell! Do you want to join me? Did you applique the center..??? Your block is lovely! I am on B10 today, and cannot find my padded cell anywhere…any suggestions? Thanks, we have 3 snowmen, a dog and a bird in the side yard with help from our grandson! 5 inches left on the ground. Michigan is great ! ! !! We are in mid-seventies and happy as if we were in our own right minds! NOT!
