I started my "dear Jane" quilt today :) I am hand piecing and hand quilting.. not sure if i will do the tedious little sashing in middle tho... My DH ran out to WalMart and bought me the biggest thing of freezer paper they had for it Ha ha. I will be making "dear jane" while waiting for my son in his speech, occupational, and physical therapy for his sensoray disorder. He gets 3 hrs of therapy a week at once so alot can get done! I started it today piecing it today at his session and I got a few weird looks but... I soo do not care cause while they are on their phones and looking at books and magazines at I will have something to show for my time lol.

It's always a good thing to have take along projects to work on during "wait" times. I often have someone asking about what I am working on, and showing much interest. At least one person is doing a GFG now because she saw my work in progress. She had never sewn a thing before! It was fun getting her started, and I made a new quilty friend!

You might look into getting some letter size freezer paper. I know that it is a god-send with my DJ and a couple of others. It can go through the printer just like copy paper. There are several places that you can buy it on-line. I found the cheapest at C. Jenkins & Co.

You can get priority shipping for $12 so less than $40 for 22 sheets. And I gladly pay for the convenience of having the right size to use the copier feature on my printer. JMHO

Good for you. As I am now sleeping under mine, I know you have a way to go yet, but perseverance will get you there. You might want to check out the thread we have on the board:

god bless you, your husband and your son.
My guess is most of the folks aren't really giving you 'wierd' looks; they are curious and have nothing else to do!
As Tropical says, people will start checking on your progress, which means you're creating the opportunity to make friends!
