Aww, what a great story. So wonderful when kids appreciate what we do.
I purchased the Dear Jane Pattern book, but I have many project ahead of it
before I begin.
I really enjoying seeing your progress.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful story and showing us your stunning blocks. Very inspiring and makes me want to get down and make these blocks as well. Good luck with the rest and the completion of your quilt.

After getting a new TV I had a huge bare wall in my living room. Because I live alone I though to put a whole display area there for ALL the DJ blocks. I had been using a corner area but wanted to see all of them:
I hemmed, I hawed and then my younger DD came and off we went to Home Depot for (2) 4 x 8 foam boards and put them on the wall. OOOH, was that the right thing to do??
We started pinning and I've not finished yet since she's gone.
My D-D-D-DGS 12 yr old was reading in the recliner and then I saw him gazing like daydreaming straight ahead so I asked him "Whatcha looking at, Bub?" He said, "Nana, I love your quilt. Its like looking at the clouds in the sky. You see so many different things." I asked him to tell me about one and he chose A10:
and said, "It looks like the Blue Angels flying off in 4 different directions... But I have too many favorites to pick just one."
*Sniff, sniff* Yep, I surely did the right thing!

I love your pictures!
I love to see all your blocks together!
And I cried at seas with the commentary of his grandson! How have views as clear and precise to be small... and how much we lose them to make us great!
And I also cried a lot with the sentence of your poster, because I get too close! Thank you for sharing it! It is something that I do!
As at home I don't have free walls, I have these plates as mobile walls! It is incredible that we do the same being as much actual distance but not in our hearts, really?
I retrieve my DJ this weekend!
Very good weekend! A strong and huge hug!
