Happy New Year!!
New for Janiacs in 2010: Free Blocks of the Month!! The appliqué block would be pretty
appliquéd or embroidered.
These little gifties are for you in appreciation for sharing my Jane Journey.
The patterns are free. This means you may not sell them. Please feel free to
share.
Shop owners, you are welcome to use these blocks in
your classes.
All blocks finish 4.5 inches. I like to start with a 6 inch square of
background and trim when I finish.
We have appliqué tutorials to help you perfect your skills:

Ruthann Zaroff has also shared her lesson on hand piecing using freezer paper on
top in the same
lessons.
Please email me brenda@dearjane.com if
you have any problems. This is all new to me!
The important thing is that you enjoy making these little blocks and have a
great New Year!
big hugs,
Brenda
