Fa-La-La-La-La


21 triangles left to do! I can't remember what my other goal was but my new one is to get the triangles quilted before Christmas! I can't think of anything better to give myself. (Actually that's not true, but that's another story!!)
I really just wanted to share some of my weekend with you but felt compelled to put in a quilt photo. I hope you aren't getting tired of seeing my Jane Stickle quilt.
One of Portland, Oregon's beautiful bridges at dusk.


 The Scandinavian fair at the Memorial Coliseum. Complete with Vikings!!
And Swedish dancers.

Our evening was topped off by a light parade in Forest Grove with Santa closing it out.

I couldn't think of a better way to start my December holidays!!

If you want to see one more fun thing I did you'll have to zip over to Get to Goal, my other blog.

Lori, you could post your DJ quilt every single day and it would never get old! You are sooo close to having it finished....how exciting!

How could anyone tire of a gorgeous DJ?

Sujata said...

It is fun to go around town at this time of the year! Oh.. Love your Dear Jane quilt in progress. I am off to see hat you did on the other blog!

Sue said...

Your Jane is looking great and you must feel so good about being nearly to the finish line :)

Taryn said...

I love seeing your DJ quilt. It really keeps me plugging away at mine. Although, I am moving so slowly I cannot imagine getting to the point of actually quilting it. Good luck meeting your Christmas deadline.

Janet O. said...

I want to see more of your DJ--as in spread it out and take a photo of the whole thing. I'm sure you have shared it before, but for those of us who haven't been in blogland very long, this is a treat. I applaud your completion goal and wish you well with it.
Looks like you had a great weekend of holiday fun!!

Dawn said...

Nice to be so close to done on such a big project! I'm cheering for you.

Donna K from N.TX aka Quilting Bear Gal said...

I have faith in you. You will get those triangles quilted by Christmas!

Susan said...

I think I heard a little cry of loneliness from my "Dear Jane" as I was reading your post. I really should let her out of the closet. Keep up the good work!

Mary said...

Nope, Not tired of seeing your Progress on this fun quilt. One I'll probably never get off my List...

Randy D. said...

Your DJ quilt is looking fabulous! Can't wait to see it in person. You will have to bring it over!! I might even get motivated to make a block or two...note: NOT the whole quilt.

Mary said...

Which bridge is that? And no, I'm not tired of seeing this quilt! How could we get tired of something that took you so much time and work?

WoolenSails said...

Your quilting is beautiful, that is going to be a gorgeous quilt. I need to get off the computer and get to work on my projects;)

Jan said...

Don't worry one bit about showing your Dear Jane progress! It is amazing.
The fest looks like fun!

Vivian said...

I think it's unanimous--don't worry about showing your DJ. Whether we've finished one, are actively working on one, have let ours slide to the UFO category, or if we just admire the project--we can't see them too often.

Looks like a fun time, but that Viking is scary. You brave gal, showing a smile next to the scary man.

Sharon said...

I'll never tire of seeing your DJ. I don't have the fortitude to start one so I continue to admire yours. Yes, what a fabulous gift to give yourself, the perfect finish to a year of quilting.

Kim said...

Me too! Never tired of seeing Dear Jane......one day I may be brave enough to make one too.

Happy Sewing and Merry Christmas

Cathy said...

Everytime I see your Jane I think of mine. She is missing somewhere in the many boxes I have packed with fabric and WIP's. Yours is so beautiful. I think I'm going to have to start all over. Hugs

Doniene said...

Love your Dear Jane quilt!!! It is lovely. Glad to see your photos!!!

Betty Lou said...

Just the thing to get you in the Christmas spirit. Love you Dear Jane quilt, they are works of art.

Cheri said...

Never get tired of the Dear Jane quilt. Quilt, Quilt, Quilt, you can get it finished and bound by Christmas!
Happy Stitching Lori!

Anne said...

Hi Lori, Did you notice the flying geese on the bridge construction? No wonder you liked it!

Beth said...

Can never see too much of a beautiful Dear Jane. You are making good progress.
Looks like the weekend was great fun. I especially like the Viking. LOL
Happy Holidays

I think it is wonderful to see the DJ quilts and those who stick with making them so long....in the end well worth the work. Just beautiful.

Belinda said...

Congratulations on your accomplishment!Never tire of looking at Finished Dear Jane quilts! I had 2 rows done then decided to take out the machine-pieced ones and do it all by hand.....and there it stalled about 10 years ago!!!
