I've been looking online at some of the shops that offer Dear Jane block-of-the-month clubs. Has anyone done one of these, and can anyone recommend a site? Thanks.
|
Hey Minda,
Let's start our own Dear Jane club online!!!!!! |
Hey thats a good idea. :lol:
|
:P I'll join in but How do we find out about it here? On this note?
|
I've been wanting to do a dear jane. what would the logistics be?
|
I think a Dear Jane BOM would be fun!! If you do decide to start one would you please include me?
Thanks, Linda |
I'm sorry but I really don't want to be in charge of a swap. I do eventually want to do a Dear Jane quilt, but right now I have too many WIPs to start a new project.

I do a Dear Jane block of the month with Stitchin Heaven. www.stitchinheaven.com
They package everything very well and give you a fabric chart showing where the fabrics they give you get used and the fabrics are very nice and true reproductions. |
Wow, I went to that website and looked at the block of the months there and that Dear Jane looks really hard. :shock:
Very pretty. Given my center block in the round robin, you can guess I'm really liking the kaleidoscope quilts, especially the kaleidoscope dreams one starting in August. I'm thinking of signing up for that one myself! But, it looks really, really hard. :?: |

Wow Rhueluna those are awesome!! You are really do a great job on them. I see where it's a great idea to do them in between your others quilts and to do them as a "to go" project.

I do that with most quilts so I can take it with me when I go someplace without hauling around the whole thing. Then when the sections are done, I put right sides together and sew the front, and then slip stitch the backing. I am hand stitching the whole thing. Piecing and then hand quilting when I am done. I will piece the borders, quilt them in sections and add them to the finished center. Then you can get the hand quilting easily. Here are the first 2 rows.

Thanks, Rhueluna. I'm also trying to match my blocks as closely to Jane's as I can. I've found that many of the patterns don't match her blocks exactly. She does a lot of reverse applique. Your blocks are beautiful.

Rhueluna - thanks for posting a good picture of your quilt. It is just wonderful! All that detail and work. And the quilting for each square is awesome, it really sets off the picture inside it. Are the blocks your designs? Or was it a kit, or from a book?

If you are talking about the large applique quilt in my avatar, it is my own designs and I drew all the patterns myself. They resemble old folk art type quilts from the civil war era. I am considering making the patterns for sale, but I know it would be a lot of work. I have some already saved but in separate blocks. I wasn't sure it would be worth all the work unless I had enough takers in it. Thanks for the nice comments. I haven't quilted any of the dear Jane, so I am pretty sure you mean "42 Windows". :) |
Yes I did mean the quilt in the avatar. (Sorry, I wasn't clear.) That's really cool that you designed all the blocks yourself. It makes it even more special.

Okay I can do that. It would be a great project - one that would last several years for me. I understand your instructions as I've done that type of applique before. For me I would use my own designs - and I have several grandchildren and all my kids are artists that could draw some of the blocks. What a family quilt that would be.
