I'm so excited to see your quilt. Last weekend a received a bag of fabric from a friend. This fabric was in there along with other Dick and Jane stuff. You've given a inspiration to do something with it.

you use pearl cotton and make very big stitches like a big running stitch about a quarter inch apart

Love that fabric! I am an avid reader today thanks to Dick and Jane. When my granddaughter was struggling to read, I spent a summer tutoring her. We used the Dick and Jane series (they had just been reprinted) and we had so much fun. Thanks for the memories!
