A Journey with Jane
Is there anyone who hasn't heard of the Dear Jane quilt? No matter whether you've heard or not, you're in for a special treat on February 13 when Valerie McCallum takes us on a Journey with Jane. Jane Stickle is the Civil War era farm wife who in 1863 completed a quilt containing over 2000 pieces. Each of the 169 square blocks is only 4-1/2" finished! And believe it or not, there are thousands of quilters who are addicted to this quilt. Valerie, who holds DJ classes and maintains an extensive DJ website, will talk about the quilt, its history and why so many people are making it. Techniques and tips also will be provided.

We are a friendly guild that meets in Wheaton, Illinois, at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month. All are welcome.
There are currently about 45 members, which makes us just the right size to have a lot going on, but still small enough to know everyone and make lasting friendships.
Our next quilt show will be in April 2012.
