I am continuing to work to finish of UFOs. Monday I took the last stitches on the scalloped binding for Dear Jane! I love the hand sewing of the binding stage. It is just such a nice chance to admire each and every block.
I laid it on the patio and went to the balcony to try to get a full flat photo. It isn't perfect, but I am pretty happy to have it done after all those years. So many different patterns and techniques and fabrics. Also, so much growth and learning. Well worth the effort for sure. I have been pondering the Nearly Insane quilt. Maybe that will be a retirement project to look forward to.
On Thursday we had tickets to see Hamilton in Orlando. It was amazing! I have seen the Disney version so many times, but it was even better in person.
We are in the car right now headed to Virginia to help Anna with the new baby. Then Kurt needs to head to to North Carolina to take care of some things with his dad's estate and check in on his sister. Monday is a teacher workday and there are so many early deadlines for college applications on October 15. So many good things happening! For now, I have some hexies to stitch in the car. I am desparate to start a new EPP project, but I will finish up my hexie snakes first. Two hand sewing projects at the same time is too many for me.
How are your purple scraps coming along so far? Mister Linky is below, please share your rainbow scrappy progress

Your DJ quilt is stunning! Love the bright colors.
Congratulations on finally completing your Dear Jane. It looks amazing! Mine took 5 years to make then sat for 10 years before I finally got some one to machine quilt it for me.
Congratulations on your magnificent Jane finish, Angela! Safe travels. Enjoy your visit with Anna and the new baby!
Your Dear Jane quilt is breathtaking! I love it even more in brights than I did in reproduction fabrics. Congratulations on a wonderful finish!
Gorgeous interpretation of Jane!
Your quilt is fabulous.
Congratulations on the finish, Angela! It's such a beautiful quilt! Love the colors. Not much scrap sewing here, still working on my UFOs.
Your Dear Jane quilt is gorgeous! Congrats on your finish. I remember you working on those blocks years ago. Such an accomplishment. The scalloped edges are a great finish for it. Enjoy your time with the baby.
I love that you chose to do a Dear Jane quilt in a rainbow color scheme with a scalloped edge border. Gives the quilt a modern feel, while paying homage to its more traditional roots.
Dear Jane is STUNNING!! what a great way to take a full photo!! And yay for seeing the G-baby!!! enjoy
