Ann Richardson

Janiacs. Janeites. Dear Jane. What does that all mean?

Ann began quilting in her 20's but quickly quit after hand piecing and quilting her first quilt. Years later, after acquiring her first sewing machine, it opened new pathways for her to create and complete a quilt - she was hooked. Yes, she even completed a Dear Jane Quilt!

Ann will take us into the world of the "Dear Jane" quilt made by Jane A. Stickle in 1863. The quilt was "discovered" by Brenda Papadakis, launching a movement in the quilt world over 20 years ago. We will examine the intricate patterns and unique aspects of the quilt and why this particular quilt still inspires contemporary and traditional quilter alike.

BONUS! Do you want to learn the techniques used in the Dear Jane Quilt? Jeanne Sellgren will be our instructor for a workshop on 6/13. You must register for the workshop. You can find those details in the events section of the website.
