My friend Kathy recently gave a link to some history of the "Mother Quilt" and it's maker.
In case you missed it the first time....

I love these stories and never seem to tire of them either. So did a little searching to see what else popped up for your perusal.
The downfall to all of this.....it take you away from actually stitching a block!!! :)

OK Sheri, you have managed to keep me sitting at the computer now for 30 minutes. I could of been sewing for those 30 minutes but I thank you because I truly enjoyed reading all the links that you shared with us. I am praying that your headaches go away forever!!! Karen
Karen......don't say I didn't warn you! Tee hee!
Sheri I have been collecting my fabrics of green and toned white for a year now and have started on my DJ. I am so excited, unfortunately I am doing the project alone and my goal is for it to be done within a year if possible. I am doing a lot of preparation at work so sewing at home is quicker. Love all the info about DJ. Regards Rene Smolcic
Hi Rene,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and you have a big task in front of you to complete this in a year. But I know it can be done....have heard of others with the same goal. I was on the decade plan.....more like 15 years. It is a beautiful piece to aspire to, and with every block I completed it spurred me on to the next one. Enjoy the Jane journey and good luck!
