My local quilt shop is having a class for DJ but it is for hand sewing.
I have never done hand sewing so am leary of signing up. It is cheap at 40 dollars for the whole series of classes.

i really, really, really want them but it is sooo expensive

yes, you wouldn't use the quilt. i don't know anyone who has made a jane and actually uses it to sleep with - its too much work to make.

Hey, everyone, I know where you can get poison green, cheddar, and dbl pink. The shop is called Grandma;s Attic; put a dot com and you have her website. She specializes in repros from 19th century. Also, www.reproductionfacrics.com- will get you even more. Lotsa luck!! YTQ

It's kind of fun to have a little "take-along" project for those hurry up and wait situations.

I think it would be worth taking the class. Jinny Beyer said she hand pieces almost all of her quilts while traveling (before 9/11 anyway)

Hand sewing is SEWWWWW fun! and it's addicting, too. I love doing my Jane that way. go for it; you can always change to machine if you don't like it.

for some of the blocks, I think it's easier to hand sew them

My first Dear Jane was hand pieces. Now I'm looking forward to machine pieceing after the first.

Thanks for the answer I haven't received an answer yet, but I will go check on ebay and see if it just didn't make it to my email :?
