Love those shelves too, and how they mold to any space. Jeana can you tell me who makes the lovely older pottery pieces you have on the shelves…are they one maker? I love some of those, they are so lovely and old fashioned…yet very modern in the same breath! Thanks!

The pottery pieces are 20th century, but, alas, all unmarked. I have not become educated about them—just love the colors. Oddly enough when I find them in antique stores they are often in sets of two—go figure. I have several sets of two such as the pink cornucopia-shaped candle holders and the green vases on a shelf by themselves. The yellow egg cup lived the last fifty years in my mother-in-law\’s house on small shelf by the kitchen window. They are, at best, an ecclectic mix.

Jeana,
what is the name of the bookcases from IKea. We have been looking at them and these are exactly what I want.

The bookcase style is called \”Billy/Byom\”. All of the parts, each section, glass doors, etc. are sold separately so it is quite a list of items needed to assemble the bookcase as you see it on the blog. Assembly is also required—nice job for a handy husband.

Good luck. Jeana

perfect purchase, YES they look like they have been there forever!
Isn’t it fun to revisit these books.
I will have to get that book out and read it.
I love when people reference a book I have so I can revisit it OR if I don’thave it buy it!
LOL
thanks!
Enjoy your beautiful bookcases, I bet a book a night will be looked at for a long time to come!

Thank you for your honesty about the market of quilting books. I would very much appreciate having a chance to purchase the Christmas pattern if you should decide to publish them. They are wonderful. I am tickled that you have not given up on creating. I do miss seeing you, but I understand why you don’t do many classes outside the state of Utah. Please consider publishing this patterns some how.

Jeana,
I am so happy that you are considering publishing this pattern. Count me in the many who are keeping their fingers crossed.

I, too, hope you can resolve the publication dilemma. I have plenty of “quick and easy” patterns and books. I am indeed looking for time involved and heirloom quality projects. Obviously, there is a niche market for this type of project, and you have a loyal following. I do hope a happy resolution is found!

Jenna,I too love your books,as someone else wrote just to look at them makes you happy.I have just started using your needles also and they are great,I have found my comfort zone with them.’An Old Fashioned Christmas’looks fabo and a piece of work that would be cherished by the maker.You are right about the commercial market place,-a dog eat dog world.Maybe you could begin a ‘limited edition club’ for your work.Just a thought after reading the previous comments,there are some very SAD quilters out there,me being one of them.I do hope you change yuor mind !!!

Hi Jeana: I also hope you can find a way to offer these wonderful patterns to us. Your patterns are ones that I make because I want to have quilts that are not quick finishes, but rather are quilts that will become heirlooms to my family. I appreciate your sharing your talents with us. I will watch your site to see if you come up with a way to sell them to us.
