Among the patterns and letters you will find a dozen quilts from the 1990's, all inspired by Jane's supreme example of quilt-making artistry in 1863. Editorial Reviews About the Author Brenda has been making quilts since the mid-70's, especially enjoying drafting and designing. She saw a photo of Jane Stickle's 1863 quilt and became so enamoured that she spent the next five years researching her life and the times in which she lived. Dear Jane is the result of that labor. In 1997 she retired after teaching math for 25 years to devote her time to lecturing and teaching about Jane Stickle and life in the nineteenth century. She has traveled throughout the United States and also to Japan and Holland. Brenda contributes a bi-monthly article "Quilter's Workshop" in The Quilter magazine and is currently writing a sequel to Dear Jane. |
