I was home sick today and didn't have a lot of energy, but I did work on a few midget blocks. Here is a sneak peak, but the full posts will wait for Tiny Tuesdays. I have another applique block prepped to work on during the presidential debate tonight. I might have to watch it in a different room from my husband who gets very emotional about these things.
The exciting news for today is that I go brand new and fabulous fabric in the mail. I am planning to start a Rainbow Dear Jane as soon as the Midgets are all done. (Don't know when that will be -- but maybe by the end of this year?) When I saw these beautiful bundles at the
Twiddletails store, I knew they would be just right. The only one I didn't put in my cart was a yellow set that seemed to have a lot of white background going on. Aren't they purdy? Of course now I have the urge to go and make a few blocks just to try out all this new fabric, but I will resist.

Pretty fabric - I don't think I could resist!
uh oh...the dear jane quilt has gone from planning stages...to fabric acquisition, so now it's an official quilt in development! Rest up and enjoy the colour!
Love the fabric and I sure hope you're feeling better. My Husband is sure to watch the debate tonight too...I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it yet. I think I will make a fabric run... :)
I'm sure your Mind and Body needed your sick-day today; I hope you have been rejuvenated!
And you bet'cha! Very purdy fabric.
Ah, that's the start of a new school year for you, you catch any bugs going around. I hope you feel better soon.
Sounds like a little sewing to help heal the bug was in order. Hope you are feeling better today.... just looking at those nice brights make me smile. So... still resisting?
Wonderful fabrics. Love the colors. This will be a gorgeous DJ. We can encourage eachother; I've just restarted my DJ. *g*
Sending you healing {{hugs}} and hope you feel better real quick!
Theres nothing like playing with fabric to make you feel better!!! and these are absolutely delicious!
WOW! Your DJ will be so gorgeous with all these wonderful colours.
I hope you are feeling much better by today.

Hope you are feeling better. Love the rainbow strips, that's going to be a beautiful quilt.
I hope you are feeling better now! How long did you (or can you) resist?
Heartful get-well wishes ! ;>)
I'm So happy finding your blog, as I'm starting a rainbow Dear Jane in bright jewel tones, by next beg. January 2013 !
I do hope that number 13 will be my lucky number ---> have you noticed there are 13 rows of 13 blocks + 13 colourful triancles in each border ? So, 2013 MUST be our Jane year!
My bundle of fabrics is ready, as well, and I just can't wait starting... but I will resist, as I've got a Xmas quilt to finish That 2 years long work top deserves its handquilting this year, no excuse! (better late than never, right ?
I'm planning to start with the center, and I've divided the "grid" in 9 big sections (just as a 9-patch)- including sashings - which then, in my humble opinion, will be easier to get pieced together.
Now I'm gonna subscribe to your pretty blog, as I'll certainly come back often, HeeHee.... ;>)
Smiles from my little corner !

Thank you for giving such good examples. I will pass this on to my older sister who really wants to get married. She believes that handicraft is a positive trait for a bride. I have repeatedly told her to go to personals.tendermeets. I think this is a more modern way to find a match for yourself. A good hobby never hurts though.
