Dear Jane presents the complete set of two hundred twenty-five quilt block patterns derived from the celebrated Jane A. Stickle quilt of 1863. The book provides clearly drafted patterns and construction guidance, enabling quilters to reproduce or reinterpret one of the most iconic works in American quilt history. This volume constitutes a systematic documentation of the 225 individual quilt blocks composing the Jane A. Stickle quilt, created in 1863 and regarded as a landmark in nineteenth-century American textile art. Brenda Manges Papadakis translates the original quilt into standardized patterns accompanied by technical diagrams and explanatory notes, allowing for accurate reconstruction using traditional piecing and appliqué methods. Beyond its practical function, the book situates the quilt within its historical and cultural context, reflecting domestic craftsmanship, regional design traditions and the creative agency of women in mid-nineteenth-century America. As such, the publication serves both as a working manual for experienced quilters and as a documentary source for the study of historic quilts and textile heritage.
