Jane Stickle is back!
Coming this Labor Day the Jane Stickle Quilt will begin its short stint on its annual display rack. The 1863 quilt is comprised of 169 five-inch blocks, each in different patterns, containing a remarkable total of 5,602 pieces surrounded by a unique scalloped border. The impeccable craftsmanship of the quilt has been mentioned in numerous quilting books, and is the topic of Dear Jane, The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt, by Brenda Papadakis. Made famous by this book, quilters from around the country, and world, plan trips to the region during this time to see the famous textile and to bring their own versions along for photo ops.
