I can remember how shocked i was when i bought the book home... all excited to embark on this crazy new quilting adventure and then to discover there were no instructions just drawings of each block OMG!!! I was new to quilting and self taught but that wasn't going to deter me... i got stuck right in and i was determined to make it just as Jane Stickle did... all by hand. Call me crazy... many did LOL!!! I began by making plastic templates then halfway through the 169 blocks i switched to freezer paper, so much easier than plastic templates. It took almost 13 years to complete but i can honestly say it was a quilting journey of a lifetime... i learned so much and i wouldn't change a thing!! I'm still pinching myself that i saw the mother quilt back in 2018... it still gives me goosebumps!! Ohhh and btw i loved making the scalloped binding :)) hugs, Marianmarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775581973073679924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-79419195390260757402021-10-12T21:28:30.423-07:002021-10-12T21:28:30.423-07:00Ohh the memories coming flooding back Lori as i lo...Ohh the memories coming flooding back Lori as i look at your gorgeous DJ quilt.

There has also been a CD produced with paper pieced patterns- I'm not sure what else the CD had. Specialty rulers and templates, especially for the triangles, made them so much easier to be accurate. Those are the advances I know about but never used, except the group support. A small online group made our quilts together. One was a retired math teacher and that was super helpful!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460244411628464458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-90668747617762267752021-09-22T15:51:25.218-07:002021-09-22T15:51:25.218-07:00Hi Lori! ??? for you.

Was there a new book and/or pattern that started the current wave of "Dear Jane" samplers? Just curious about the continuing popularity and how folks are coming to this project. :) <br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Marlene Fulbrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606937037057694225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-84151063790453248202021-09-22T13:50:11.789-07:002021-09-22T13:50:11.789-07:00Thank you so much for sharing closeups of your won...Thank you so much for sharing closeups of your wonderful JS quilt! What a great accomplishment! It took me 17 years to finish my Baltimore Album quilt and I thought that was very unusual, but the more blogs and instagram posts I read, the more I find out that many quilters have one or two quilts that have taken them that long to finish - sometimes even longer!!!gladiquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650491174081825382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-62470784914456681132021-09-22T12:08:06.624-07:002021-09-22T12:08:06.624-07:00I've got a pattern and that was my start on it...I've got a pattern and that was my start on it!
