I signed up for the Siggy swap on the Dear Jane list again this year. This will be year number three for me. Every year since I joined the list I have enjoyed this event. No, I have not assembled any of the quilts but that is the goal for this year. To assemble all three of them, I hope in time to take to
Someone introduced me to Carol at Inkspirations in time to make a special stamp for my second year. This year she designed another one for me to go with the fabric I had purchased for this event. The original idea was to have a stamp so I would not have to sign my name so many times. Now I have the stamp so that I can paint and embellish the siggy. The deadline for receipt is April 15th. I have to make 160 of them. I will be spending all of my free time until then getting these darlings painted and embellished. I am already thinking about next year as I am working.
This is 3 1/2 inch blocks of muslin ironed on to sheets of freezer paper. There are 25 to a sheet. I am ready to stamp the design.
Last year I painted sand...............This year I am painting sand........ I really am tired of sand.
All the sand is done and I have begun adding the pink portion of the umbrella. After the pink comes the green and then I need to assemble the blocks before I got to work with the glitter pen.

Everyone is going to love your blocks. They are a perfect example of Cape Cod.
What a great idea. They will be loved!
Those are going to be beautiful siggy blocks. I saw the sign up on the DJ digest. I didn't sign up - I am just doing my first siggy exchange of 40 blocks, I thought that was the best for me :))
160 blocks!! Boy, that is impressive, and a lot of work to paint all those blocks. I bet everyone will love your blocks.
