I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

I just ordered the book. :shock: JoJo, please email me! I need supervision!
I am SO bad. I just received Carol Doak's starter kit. I'm taking a class with her in November in NJ. I can't believe this. I'm going to have to prioritize better.

And as Sue Garman has told us, if we want to get more done, we must write down our goals/plans. Otherwise, I'll never get anything finished. I'm trying hard to plan my time better so I can accomplish more finished projects.

Is there someplace I can read/see Sue Garman's post about working?
I'm determined to finish some of the UFOs that are so close to completion. Then I can focus and not feel so guilty.
JoJo, I think 2 years sounds good. If we stick together here, we can hold each other accountable. Come on, Nancy and anyone else who's feeling that twitch that means you want to do this quilt :P
I'm thinking I may get a bolt of that Kona cotton for the background; I have a 40% and a 50% coupon. I can't decide whether I want to make it scrappy or coordinated. Hmm...................

Well, I have about 15 blocks of Dear Jane completed -- now to locate them! After a year in NY, I have finally come to terms with the fact that we are staying & I should UNPACK! The garage & basement are still full of unexplored boxes. I have just been so angry and disappointed, I was determined we were leaving SOON, thus no need to unpack. So, when I find those blocks, and the kits to make all the rest (Stitchin' Heaven, Quitman, TX, Civil War colors), I'd love to join in & get this quilt done! I've been wanting to make it ever since the book came out -- in 1997 or so? Kathy B.

eileen:
On the CD, you can printout what they recommend.
Under Sewing Techniques, Yardage Tips.
I had printed that out and it gives different yardage depending on if you are:
Stingy or frugal - 9 yards 10",
Normal -14 Yards 10",
Paper piecing - 19 yards.
(Somewhere I read that people ran out of background fabric, but I do not know what method of cutting their fabrics they used and how much fabric they got?)
Here is what I bought, I had it marked on that printout,
I bought what the shop had for the background and it was 14 -2/3 yards. (Later I bought another 2 yards of the same fabric just in case.)
On the Focal fabric I also bought what they had available 13 - 1/2 yards. (So I hope I have enough, because I do not think I would be able to find it in the future, if I need it.)
I hope this helps.

Hi QuiltLady,
I have both the book and the CD and love them both.
If you have ever used Electric Quilt, the CD is a easier version. You can print out templates or founations for paper piecing or just the block plan to you can measure it (the pieces before you cut).
I would not do this quilt without all the help you can get: teachers, classes, the book, the CD and anything else you can find.

Hi Ladies, I'm starting my Dear Jane in October and just wanted to ask what the benefits are of having the software over just having the book? I already have the book (have had it for two years!) - is it that it's just easier to print out the patterns with the software and will it run on a Mac?
