Desperate for Dick and Jane
Hi,. My name is Michele I am new to the group but have been sewing on and
off for about 30 years and need a lot of help. After losing my house, sewing room and all of my fabric stash to an F4 tornado in July we have recently moved into our newly built home. Now I am trying to reconstruct my sewing life. I had stashed enough Dick and Jane flannel to make twin sized quilts for 8 grandchildren. It was in a container in the attic and it is gone. I am heartsick. I have looked everywhere online trying to find some with no success. You grandmas know what it means to make a special quilt for your grandchildren. Does anyone know where I might find some? Any help would be wonderful. May I say that from now on the fabric stash on bolts will go in the basement.

Maybe on Ebay if you put a watch on it? Over time everything is
there at some point. Taria maryd wrote: Hi Michele. Sorry to hear about your loss of home and stash. Wish I could help you with your flannel search. |

So sorry to hear about your loss. The last place that I remember seeing the Dick and Jane fabric was Hancock's of Paducah. I'm sorry I don't have their current catalogue but you could try calling their customer service (1-800-845-8723). I think at one time Keepsake Quilting also carried it but I'm truly not sure.

I don't think you'll find it! It was pulled from the market shortly after it
came out because of a Copyright lawsuit by the company who produced the original Dick and Jane books. It was a long story....don't remember it all. But it seems someone bought the out of date copyright and stopped the fabric company from producing or selling it. LQSs sold what they had on hand.....but it was immediately pulled from the internet. I have a couple of pieces---not whole yards that I managed to pick up and I'm waiting for the perfect place to use them. I grew up reading Dick and Jane as I'm sure a lot of the rest of you did.

Thanks for the update. I hope to find it and if not to be able to claim it
on my insurance as a collectable. That would help out a lot. Michele "Betty in Wi" wrote in message ... I don't think you'll find it!
