Dear Jane Quilt
I don't think I have posted a picture of my completed Dear Jane quilt. Started on September 10, 2001 and ompleted just a few weeks ago. I recently had the priviledge to talk to my guild, York County Quilters and to the Charlotte NC Guild about the history of Jane Stickle and my own journey in making this quilt. This picture was taken at the Charlotte Guild meeting and I did not notice until after the meeting that it was hanging sideways. Guess it pays to put a sleeve on the quilt to make sure it is always hung right....funny, I am the one that told them to hang it that way. Both guilds could not have been nicer to me during the presentation and seemed to enjoy hearing about the history of Jane Stickle and her amazing quilt.

I always admire that quilt and anyone attempting to make it. It would not be like making a quilt with repeated identical blocks ... even in different fabrics. Kind of like jumping through multiple hoops. Great finish!
Wow -- It's beautiful Teresa -- what a treat for your quilt guild!
I spent time with a friend who made those blocks over the course of a couple years. It's SO much work! I admire you for making it, and I'm sure those appliquéd blocks were all hand-stitched. Right? How nice that you had a chance to share your quilt, and the background of it, with other guilds. Good for you! It's always fun to share our work, isn't it?
