Ducky...I think you did just great! I certainly can't complain or compare since I STILL haven't done a thing...but I DID order the software..does that count??
A name for the sew along...hmmm...I might think of something in the middle of the night..that seems to be when things like that happen :roll:

They are just suggestions for a jumping off point. Feel free to bounce ideas off of it or do whatever you think. I know we have alot of creative people so something good should come up for a great title!! LOL

Wouldn't it be cool if we planned a huge retreat for about 6 months after we finish our blocks, where if you come, you have to bring your Dear Jane completed? We could have a real retreat - classes, games, wine, wine, wine, oh, and hey, what about a little wine while we're there??? He he.
that would put the retreat about August 2011 - good timing? Enough time to save your pennies for the fun???

what a great idea. we could do it at the Vermont Quilt Show and see the Original Jane Quilt.
i've been thinking about going up there and doing a rubbing from the headstone and transferring it to fabric and putting it on the back of my jane quilt.
but then i think, wow thats kinda dark.
i live in sleepy hollow and headstone rubbings are done all the time here.
