WOW Dot!! I checked your link - it is awesome! Can anyone use that layout?? Do you know whether it has a copyright?

love the dancing smileys as well :lol:

Hi Cre8tvlwyr,
Thank you so much for your kind comments, here is a link (from the DJ website) - please pm me if you need any further help - my hubby did it for me !!

Your Baby Jane on the Virtual Design Wall

This would be the place to start in achieving your own design wall.

http://www.smastbrook.net/dj/djvdw.htm

This gives you the starting point in putting your own wall on your computer
or uploading it to your web space given to you by your provider.

Kind regards,
DottyD.

Count me in I am working on AOTH which I started recently and am taking DJ at my LQS which session ends in January so now I can follow along here.Yippee

I still have to get the book, software, etc., and try to decide what colors/fabrics to use. Thought I was all set, and then I saw the chocolate DJ. Now I'm wondering.....will do more research before the new year.

If you go to the main dearjane.com site and go to the janiac link - or better yet go directly to:

http://www.janiac.com/

you will see many different examples of DJs - there are other photos as well, but this can give you an idea of color schemes.

It's a great method once you get the hang of it.

Waar in Nederland woon je??

Thank you for doing this. I have collected most of my fabrics and have been wanting to get started. This is just what I have been looking for. I was hoping someone would do this. Maybe this is the kick I need to get started. It is overwhelming to me just looking at all the blocks. Can't wait to get started.

I bought the Dear Jane book awhile back, with the intentions of doing one. This would be a great way to get started. I love the fact of doing it with other people in case I hit a snag. I also like the fact of beginning it a couple of weeks after all the hectic holiday bustle. I will check back here often.

Weeeelllll, actually, I bought the book and some fabric a few months ago....intending on having it be a winter project in the evening. Sounds like fun. I need motivation on this quilt:) Keep us informed. Thanks for the invite.

Have heard of Dear Jane but need to look more into it. ;-)
