Dear Jane softwareCode: A-DJANE
"Two thumbs up
for the new Dear Jane CD. I've wanted to do the quilt since 1996 but had
no idea how to start. Having been an EQ user since the first EQ arrived,
the lessons are really easy to understand. Love the new coloring redo
tool and all the extra info from Brenda, including help on each of the
blocks in the quilt. Having the options of doing your own Dear Jane in
different sizes and styles is an added plus. I know it took a long time
in coming but I definitely would give it two thumbs up; a remarkable program." "You do not have to be a dear jane fan to have fun with this project. I ... finally had to come up for a breath of air. Just too much fun. It is well worth the money." "If you are a fan of the wonderful sampler quilt made by Jane A. Stickle in 1863, or the book documenting it and its patterns by Brenda Papadakis, you’ll be thrilled with this quilt design software." "I am awed -- truly awed!! This program is a FINE bit of quilting software, but more than that to me, it is a tribute to quilters everywhere. What comes through so well to me is individual quilter's love of the quilt and of their journey while making their version. The CD seems to be a tribute to that kind of friendship that is cultivated in this new electronic way while we work on blocks from a quilt that was originally made a long, long time ago. Now it's time to print some patterns -- actually it's time for bed --
but guess what I'm going to do???" "I got this to make my own Dear Jane quilt. I am making 6" blocks and the program makes all the adjustmants for me. You can't go wrong with this is you are making the Dear Jane quilt. It has been a life saver with the tips and being able to print out the paper pieced patterns makes life so much easier." "This CD will provide the spark for many who have placed their [previous]
DJ's on hold. Personally, I love that I can change the size of the block
if I like. I will be making some [larger block size janes] to display
in the shop so others can see they don't 'have' to be 4.5" finished." "Everywhere I go on the CD there is something more to discover, another
new little button to click and explore. I am fascinated to find these
little gems sprinkled through the CD. The programmers at EQ must have
had more fun than a barrel of monkeys putting this together. The creativity
of our friends online and the people at Electric Quilt is astounding." "If you are planning to make a Dear Jane quilt, you should buy this
software. It complements Brenda's book nicely and extends the world of
Dear Jane. Electric Quilt did a great job of computerizing Dear Jane." "If you are interested in making the Jane Stickle Quilt, this is your best resource. I've owned it for over a year and continue to find new areas for tips on how to complete those difficult 4 1/2" blocks. It also allows you to modify them. I also own EQ5. It is a magnificent tool for designing other projects and could be used for making the Jane Stickle Quilt. But if you are wanting to do a 'Stickle' quilt...the Dear Jane Software is the best program for this project. It has saved me MANY MANY design hours!" "I just wanted to let you know I am very impressed with the DJ program.
The more I use the program the happier I am. I have a phobia about rotary
cutting (I like to do everything by hand) but made myself do Brenda's
first lesson yesterday. I am pleased to say I have two "almost perfect" squares. The
lessons were just what I needed." "I think
I am going to have a great time with this CD. I have had the book for
some time now, and have even completed a few of the blocks on my own,
but plan on really taking off with this CD. What fun!!!"
