Dick and Jane panel
#1
I was looking at the website of my local quilt guild last night and saw a quilt that was made with Dick and Jane fabric, which I thought was so cool. So off I went to eBay and found a fabric and theme I liked and bought it. Below is the pic. It brought back such good memories of learning to read with Dick and Jane in first grade with Mrs. Phillips.

I'm thinking I'll make a quilted wall hanging out of it to hang in our sewing room. We have nothing hanging on the walls in there in the way of "art", so I thought this would be cool to do.

I grew up in Ohio and had Tom, Betty and Susan (and dog Flip!) also. I have warm fuzzy memories of first grade when I see this fabric...saying the Pledge of Allegiance, opening my lunch box, recess and the big, big slide, rain coats and galoshes. Eddie, it will make a charming wall decoration for your sewing room.

Oh I love them!! I have a collection of Dick and Jane books. I taught my kids to read at age 3 with 1-2 of these books and that's all it took to get them started. I'll use them with my grandkids too! :wink:
I love the Brown Bear panels too....
I can't wait to see what you make.
