I was surviving on a meager teacher's salary, but I bought multiple copies as gifts for creative friends.

She inspired me, though, and now I can look at the book from a different vantage point. Also have a couple of her other books, including the 'No Dragons On My Quilt' which is so fun; it's on my 'must do someday' list.Dee Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991650988145604449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-2129662776793598292011-03-09T07:36:24.325-06:002011-03-09T07:36:24.325-06:00Thanks for the post.

Very early on in my quilting career I read one of her "Getting it Together..." books and always remember this piece of advice: be the first to volunteer, so you can choose the job you want and the time you want to spend on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-50089852216684437562011-03-08T06:29:15.669-06:002011-03-08T06:29:15.669-06:00Thank you so much for sharing about Jean, the quil...Thank you so much for sharing about Jean, the quilting world will certainly miss her.Rosemary Youngshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077070853771048780noreply@blogger.com
