Met grote quilts vind ik het makkelijk met een schema te werken. Zo werkte ik bij de Dear Jane al met een kleurenschema voor de blokken dat rechts op de foto te zien is. Nu werk ik met een quiltschema. Ik zorg wel steeds dat ik iets voor lig op schema, zodat ik , als dat nodig is, een dag niets kan doen. I like to work with a scheme while working on a large quilt. I already used a color scheme for my Dear Jane as you can see on the right in the first picture. This time I use a quilt scheme. The trick is to work a bit in advance. That way you can always take a day off.
I set myself a goal of trying to finish the 169 square blocks of my Dear Jane quilt before the end of 2013. The blocks are finished, and I am only a few days late! In fact, I made 170 blocks, not 1…

"Dear Jane": una trapunta di quilt senza tempo che ha conquistato quilters in tutto il mondo attraverso il libro di Brenda Papadakis.
A few weeks ago I was hopping from blog to blog, when somebody mentioned their excitement about entering their 'Dear Jane' quilt into a special exhibition of 'Dear Jane' quilts in Nantes, France. A little further investigation, and I discovered that the "Pour l'Amour du Fil" (For the Love of Thread) show was being organised by the magazine Quiltmania. Regular readers will know that I am currently working on my 'Nearly Insane' Quilt, which is of a similar genre to 'Dear Jane', so I was intrigued, especially at the thought of seeing over 100 'Dear Jane' quilts together. 'Dear Jane' 150th Quilt Exhibition, Nantes, France 2013 I regularly go to the quilt shows in the UK, but this was my first 'European' show, which involved a ferry crossing from England to France and a little trip in our camper van. The exhibit of the 'Dear Jane' quilts was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. As you walked into the room, you could not help but gasp in amazement! Over 100 quilts, all the same, all different. There was a Hand- Dyed 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Hand-Dyed Fabrics) Paula Klein, Luxembourg There was an Indonesian fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Indonesian Fabrics) Annie Tromp-Doornink, Netherlands There was a Low Volume 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Low Volume) Ineke Marijissen Van der Molen, Netherlands There was a Liberty Fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Liberty Fabric) There was a Red and White Dear Jane Quilt Dear Jane Quilt (Red and White) Nathalie Pierre, France There were the traditional Civil War Fabric 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Civil War Reproduction Fabrics) Michel Galan France There were modern, bright with black background 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Modern Brights) Chantal Guyon, France There were modern, bright Batik 'Dear Jane' Quilts Dear Jane Quilt (Batik) Diane Rhode and Judy Doenias, USA And some really lovely, unique colour combinations Dear Jane Quilt (Greys, Reds) Rineke Imenshot, Netherlands Originally, Brenda Papadakis was due to attend to give a talk and run some 'Dear Jane' workshops, but due to a broken arm, was not able to travel to France from the USA. However, there were many of her ambassadors at the show, and it was fabulous. The impact of the display was so brilliant, thanks to the organisers and contributors for putting on such a brilliant exhibit. Never to be forgotten. They were all lovely. Do you have a favourite?

Dear Jane Quilt - the Halfway Edition! As promised here is the latest update on my Dear Jane quilt progress. I haven't pulled out the blocks since the last update in February and it is like meeting up with old friends. Dear Jane Quilt - the Halfway Edition! I don't lay them out in their correct order because it is so incomplete, but the Electric Quilt image below gives an idea of how it is going to go together. The eagle eyed will notice that their placement is not the same as the original Jane Stickle quilt either. That is the plan. Dear Jane Quilt - the Halfway Edition! Electric Quilt Software The white blanks are slowly filling up and some of the lines are nearly complete - it's just like playing BINGO! If you pop back to the post in October 2015 you can really see the progress I have made in the last six months. On the sidebar you can see this image updated regularly, but I like to capture a snapshot in these progress posts for a sense of progression. Dear Jane Quilt - the Halfway Edition! From the pretty piles of blocks above and the statistics in the table below you can see that I have yet to do a PURPLE block, which will hopefully pull the final colour scheme together. You can also see that I have added those little extras to the data below - the sashing, the cornerstones and the alternate triangles. It all has to be done and then I have to think about putting it together and removing those tiny bits of paper. Blocks Triangle Red 13/29 4/8 Purple 0/12 0/8 Blue 12/20 4/8 Green 8/28 4/8 Yellow 16/36 4/12 Orange 40/44 8/12 TOTAL 89/169 (52%) 16/56 (42%) Sashing 17/312 (5%) Cornerstones 28/144 (20%) Triangles 5/56 (8%) I have spotted other bloggers out there working steadily at their Dear Jane quilt. UKCityCrafter is building up a lovely collection of Dear Jane blocks in blue and white, the contrast is going to be stunning when it is put together.

Kamie Murdock is making a very happy version of the quilt A new EPP phenomenon is happening, and it's interesting to catch it at the beginning, wondering if it will spread or just die. It makes me think of the Dear Jane adventure, as it's like the Way to Compostelle, one step at a time. I'm talking about the phenomenal success of the book Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein, available at Quiltmania. The book has French and English instructions inside. There's one quilt in the book, that's particularly popular, it's the Passacaglia Quilt. Its success has especially increased since quilters have started to use very modern fabrics to make it. I'm thinking about Kamie Murdock or Tula Pink, for example. Since it need thousands of pieces and takes forever to make, they are taking the time to extensively blog about it, or post on Instagram, and it's just fascinating!! You can even buy paper pieces, ready to be use, as well as plexy templates to cut the fabric here! Un nouveau phénomène EPP (méthode anglaise) est en train de prendre forme et c'est intéressant de l'observer à ses débuts, en se demandant si cela va se propager ou s'il va disparaître. Cela me fait penser à l'aventure Dear Jane, puisque, comme le Chemin de Compostelle, c'est un pas après l'autre, pour rejoindre un but difficile à atteindre. Je parle du succès phénoménal du livre Millefiori Quilts, de Willyne Hammerstein, disponible chez Quiltmania. Le livre a des instructions en français et ne anglais. Il y a un quilt dans le livre, qui est particulièrement populaire, c'est le quilt La Passacaglia. Son succès a particuliprement augmenté quand des quilters ont commencé à le réaliser avec des tissus modernes. Je pense à Kamie, Murdock, ou Tula Pink, par exemple. Comme cela nécessite des milliers de pièces et que ça prend une éternité à réaliser, elles ont le temps d'écrire le processus en détail sur leur blog ou sur Instagram, et c'est tout simplement fascinant! Tulla Pink with her La Passacaglia project in the background as seen on Elisabeth Maxson's site Sharon Burgess is almost there! If you feel like starting one, just read that, and make sure you understand how much energy you'll need to invest! Si vous vous sentez attiré par ce projet, ne manquez pas de lire cet article, afin de bien saisir la quantité d'énergie qu'il faudra investir! Cathy from Eagles Wings, Canada writes a report every week Izy Denham's quilt I think one of the reasons of the success of that quilt is that it uses mostly pentagons, giving the allover design a more spiky, lively look, than if it was made of mostly hexagons. You can even buy paper pieces, ready to be use, as well as plexy templates to cut the fabric here! Je pense qu'une des raisons du succès de ce quilt vient du fait qu'il utilise en majorité des pentagones, donnant au dessin général un air plus pointu, plus vivant que si il était réalisé avec une majorité d'hexagones Vous pouvez également acheter des papiers prêts à l'emploi, ainsi que des gabarits en plexiglas ici!

First of all, I want to apologize for the post that went out yesterday if you subscribe by email or just happened to look at my blog. I had the post written, and it was in my drafts folder. Then I added and changed a few things and hit the publish button. When I went to look at it on line, I noticed that it already had 11 comments. I had posted that same post about a year ago, but somehow it was back in my drafts folder. I'm not sure how that happened. I take photos with either my iPhone or iPad and then email them to my blog where they save as a draft post. I intend to get back in here and write something to go along with the photos and then post. That doesn't always happen, and that's how I ended up with 57 posts in my Drafts folder. I've cleaned that out only kept a few things that I really want to post. NOW...….Dear Jane Last November we celebrated our 20th year getting together for the Jane Stickle Quilt Retreat up in Shipshewana. I have only been going 18 of those years, but I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. We had a very large crowd last November (I think around 130), so we had a separate night for just Dear Jane show and tell. Here are the quilts that I showed: My Dear Jane quilt. There are 169 blocks that finish at 4 1/2, 52 triangles and 4 corners. I worked on this quilt off and on for about 10 years. I had it long arm quilted. There was an internet Dear Jane list, and we had a signature block swap. Some of the blocks have hand sewn beads and buttons and embroidery. The blocks in this quilt are from a Spring Fling swap. I bought the center applique block at Rebeccar Harrer Arts and Antiques in Shipshewana. When I first became part of the Dear Jane list and retreat, whenever someone said the word swap, I asked where I should sign up. This quilt is made up of swap blocks from some of the girls that come to the retreat. I'm not sure what I was thinking with that bright yellow sashing, but it definitely brightened up all of the dark blocks. These blocks are from a Christmas Jane swap. All of the blocks in these quilts are taken from the Dear Jane book. The feathered star in the center of this quilt was a block that I made for a round robin I was in. I think I changed my mind on the fabrics for the round robin and used the feathered star for the center of this quilt. At some point, a second Dear Jane list formed. I'm not sure now what the reason was for that. But, I signed up for this list, too. They had a Christmas signature swap, and this is the quilt I made. I love arranging the signature blocks in a colorwash pattern. All of the blocks have Christmas fabric on the corners. This is a photo of all of us that were at the November retreat that have completed the Dear Jane quilt. I'm the only one in the photo wearing red (I didn't get the memo!) I've made enough swap blocks that I could have made a second Dear Jane quilt. There are some in our group that have made 5 or 6 Dear Janes. I've thought about making a second smaller quilt. I think there is kind of a withdrawal when you finish a huge project like this. After this I moved on to the Nearly Insane quilt and finished it. You can see that quilt by looking under my header at the My Quilts tab. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Hope you are finding some time to stitch today!
As Quilters we all have quilts to make on our bucket list. I personally have probably 2 pages of bucket list quilts to make, but I just don't seem to have the time, which is fine. I am happily busy quilting quilts for folks and that is such an honor and joy. I love being able to work from my home and spend the summer with my family. I quilt in the morning and go to the pool after lunch. Not a bad gig. Well, lets talk about the Dear Jane quilt. The first time I heard about this stunner was in 2006. My husband was deployed to Iraq, I had 3 kids in diapers and I was new to quilting. I was in the obsessive phase of making quilt after quilt. I made them for all my friends and family and I haven't really slowed down since. I was part of a quilt group with my church. At the time I was in my late 20s and the rest of the group was all easily double or triple my age. They knew SOOOO much! I am so blessed to have fallen in with them. The leader of the group was working on this amazing quilt that was made up of a zillion tiny squares and whenever she would bring it to the group all the older ladies would stand around it and murmur words of awe and adulation. It was almost a holy thing. I, not knowing much at all about the whole process and how FREAKING complicated it was, fell in love with this quilt. Judy patiently told me about it and explained what a Block Of the Month was and that there were Online quilt shops that would send me the fabric to make several blocks each month. All I had to do was pay them a little money. I was hooked. As soon as I got the kids down for bed that evening I booted up my computer and signed up for the next Dear Jane BOM which would begin in a couple months. It would be a 24 month project. I was so excited and being newly out of the Army I was such a task oriented lady, I just had no doubt at all that I would easily keep up with the program. Well, my husband got home from Iraq and we moved to Alice Springs, Australia and the blocks kept coming....and coming and coming! And I got behind. In 10 years I have only made 33 blocks. They really are maddeningly fussy. Especially since I have broken up with precision piecing. Fast forward 10 years. I am quilting day in and day out. Each quilt fabulous in their own way. I received an email from a client who wanted me to quilt her Dear Jane quilt. All I could think was what a motivated lady she must be to have the intestinal fortitude to power through all the blocks. Susan sent her quilt to me and it was just stunning. I had such a blast quilting this beauty. And now, since I quilted one Dear Jane quilt I figure I had mark it off my bucket list right? Or maybe I should drag the sack of organized BOM blocks in ziplock bags out and get to it. I knew there would be miles and miles of stitching in the ditch and that alone would probably be fine for this quilt , but I wanted to do a little more...but not too much. I did a great deal of echoing the blocks and some tiny feathers here and there. I made melons into wee little Welsh leaves. Tiny corner blocks and pearls were quilted in as well as mini piano key borders. After I found my stride it was just so fun to quilt this quilt. I didn't rush it and did about 2 and a half rows a day. The corner diamonds really threw me as to how to quilt them. I had to physically force my self NOT to swirl them. I am trying hard to rein in the swirling. Susan is going to bind the quilt with a traditional scallop so that will look lovely right beyond the pearls. I quilted a little bouquet of flowers in the basket, but they are hard to see in this picture. I had such a good time quilting this quilt. I hope Susan loves it even more now that it is ready to be used. What a masterpiece. What are you working on? Is a Dear Jane on your bucket list? xo, Tia

Dear Jane is coming along right on schedule. Five Months = Five Rows Complete, Top Row Triangles finished and Eight Right Side Triangles done. How is your Dear Jane coming along?
My Dear Jane top is done! Unbelievably, I did it! My Dear Jane Journey began with my first post May 30, 2010. That was 7 1/2 years ago. Back then I decided to keep track of the time and the number of pieces. Later on I quit. I made the blocks mostly in order and sewed the rows together as I went along. I would recommend that. It was so nice to just add the next row when it was completed. Here is a photo from my first week. At that point I had logged 4 hours and 40 minutes with 194 pieces. By June 20th, nearly a month later, I had two rows and two blocks done with a total of 22 1/2 hours and 586 pieces. April 5, 2011 ( almost a year later), I had 4 rows and 3 blocks done: 47 hours 52 minutes 1,202 pieces January 15th 2014 (3 years later and nearly 1 1/2 rows added): 65 hours 33 min and 1,629 pieces. I must have really worked hard on it in 2014 because it had about doubled in size 6 months later. June 20, 2014: no time was logged but I was up to 2,431 pieces. The end of 2014 I was nearly done with row 10 out of 13 rows. The photo below is a beginning and end of year comparison photo. In 2015 I only made 6 blocks all year! Only 10 blocks were completed in 2016. So, for 2017 I had only two rows left. I participated in Patchwork Times group where you make a list of 12 projects to finish and number them 1-12. She draws out a new number each month and that is the one you work on. I wisely put Dear Jane into two months with the goal to complete one row a month. It worked and now I am finally done! I chose not to piece the triangles as is traditional. I don't like how busy they make the quilt. I think it is busy enough as it is; that is why I chose to do colors on the diagonal. It gives your eyes a place to settle and travel. I also chose to point the colored triangles toward the quilt instead of away from it. I feel like they point the eye back to the middle rather than moving the eye off the quilt.

Modern Dear Jane Quilt This page is to provide updates and keep myself honest on my Modern Dear Jane Quilt progress. I started on October 15, 2012, and my goal is to make 5 blocks a week until I have my dream quilt - a Dear Jane - completely finished. Help me stay on track, ok?! :-) I have been in love with Dear Jane quilts for years now, and I love them all equally - from the original Dear Jane, to 1930s Dear Janes, to the Rainbow Jane, and on down the line. Really, there's nothing particularly "modern" about my version of "That Quilt" aside from the fabric. About the fabric: Some of you have asked how I chose my fabric. I started a Dear Jane once before and found that the most difficult thing for me at that point (I didn't have a large stash to pull from then) was finding and choosing fabric. When I decided to start again, I initially planned on doing just a 2-fabric quilt to eliminate the difficulty of fabric choosing on every block. The background I chose is a white with some blue dot, and the main fabric is a solid blue. I quickly discovered, though, that I wanted a little pop of red, so I've been adding that little touch with scraps from my stash. The fabric choosing has been greatly simplified, though, by doing it this way. Now all of my focus can be on the sewing - which is difficult enough as it is! Maybe on the next one I'll branch out to different fabrics for each block, but I really like how this 3-color quilt is turning out. Please link and pin away! Thank you for sharing my work with your followers. You keep me motivated to take up the next block ! :-) Happy stitching, Kelly Read each blog post here Week 11 Week 10 Week 9 Week 8 Week 7 Week 6 Week 5 Week 4 Week 3 Week 2 Week 1 Finished Blocks

So glad you are done! 70 hours later and a ton of thread later you are finished! Hooray! Here's the quilt in Gwen's (owner of the DJ) own words: "Hello to Judi's fans! Judi asked for my "story" about this quilt. Truth is, I can't remember why I decided to do a Dear Jane. Crazy, right? I had never undertaken such a large project in my quilting history prior to making this commitment, nor had I ever enjoyed applique up to that point. However, the single greatest factor in motivating me to work on and complete this quilt is that Anina provided fabulous block tutorials two days per week so I just followed along. Top that with Kaffe Fassett's colorful fabrics and I had all the stimulation I needed to keep going week after week, from December 2008 to March 2010. 225 blocks and 4,948 little pieces of fabric later, we add Judi's amazing talent and magic to the fray and, well, here we are. I couldn't be happier with the overall result. If you are inclined to do a DJ, just start with one block --- an easy one, maybe the nine-patch --- then move on to the next easiest one. Just keep going. You'll be surprised at how much fun it is. Click here for more inspiration. And the best part about doing the DJ is that I'm now a huge fan of applique. Have you seen Kim McLean's appliqued quilt designs? I'm almost done with Flower Pots. Next???!!!" Isn't this quilt incredible? I love it. However - after spending 70 hours doing stitch in the ditch - I don't think I will be piecing this quilt any time soon - sorry - maybe when the kids are grown and out of the house. It will have to be on my "bucket" list for now. At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do on this quilt, but it hit me "like a ton of bricks" when I started quilting and I decided that each block needed to be individualized because of how much work went into each block. That is why I just did a straight stitch in the sash, it sets off each block perfectly I think. The bottoms of the large triangles were 5 inches - so 4 equal straight lines to set these off. I used a gold metallic thread for these. Quilting around the curves were fun - just a little bit of marking with a purple marker - and some figuring around the corners and there you go - I love it! Probably my most favorite quilting picture I have ever taken! Do you see how the curved border has curved diamonds? I absolutely love it! I enjoyed quilting this DJ, but I am so glad to have it finished! Yay!
