I'm surprised there were so many who didn't know what it was. I thought all quilters especially American quilters knew. I don't care for them but can appreciate how much work goes into them.
My daughters and I just started quilting and shop hopping and collecting. We get so excited about this fabric line or that gadget. But we've found it's like we're years behind the real quilting world. Like I learned about Dear Jane from this post so yesterday we went to our LQS (which is more then an hour away). They HAD civil war prints. DD is in love with 30's prints and they're starting to be seen on the sale shelf too.
I'm so grateful I found this board where all our questions can be answered. We can join swaps and increase our "stash" or practice our skills OR learn about Dear Jane.
