Okay guys, my former PR days are twinkling...I think we ought to interest a magazine into writing an article about this..wouldn't that be fun. We should wait until we are a little further into it, but I think we could get some press...I'll bet they'll put KLue's photo in the article as well as some of our blocks. I think it would be a cool piece, don't you think?
oh, i think a bunch of magazines would be willing to write about it.
we might even be able to get quilts shows and museums to put them on display.
i think it would make an awesome show that could travel around the globe. the quilts don't have to be show stoppers for people to have interest - just the fact that a group got together over the internet and made 66 janes in 18 months will bring the public in to check them out.
Wow, can you imagine. I think you're right KLue. We should start working a few curators and see what we can get in terms of interest. Too bad we can't find a sponsor or two to help offset costs of fabrics and such for our quilters that need help financially. I wonder if Moda or some other manufacturer might be interested in some sort of sponsorship...anyone have any connections?
i don't have a distributor but i do shop online a lot.
i'd be willing to approach Whittles (i know they have an actual shop) and see how they feel about the idea.
i purchased the bulk of my jane fabric from them and a few other people did too.
i would tell them that we'd send them X amount of finished Janes to display in their shop during whichever 6 weeks that they like.
they in turn could supply some fabric to the people in the group that need it for their jane.
i think its a great way to get people to come to their shop and get inspired to spend money. they could play up the fact that many of the janes on display used fabric from their shop.
what do you guys think of that? do you know of other places that would be interested in the conversation?
