Today I am sharing a colorful quilt from the Houston Quilt Festival. This rainbow-hued quilt was one of the first things we saw when walking into the show….it was on the front of the Dear Jane exhibit and its bright colors drew our attention from a distance!<\/p>\n

Wanda Cracknell of St. Albert, Alberta, Canada made this wonderful scrappy quilt, and it is a great illustration of why we quilt… our love of Color and Fabric. Her title “Sea of Color, Field of Flowers” says it all.<\/p>\n

Dear Jane is a quilt movement that started with Jane Stickle’s 1863 quilt, and rocketed to stardom with Brenda Papadakis’ book Dear Jane. This exhibit celebrated 20 years her Dear Jane movement. Has it really been 20 years?!?<\/p>\n

The original Dear Jane quilt was steeped in stories of the Civil War and the Women’s Movement at the time, but today quilters give it a contemporary twist with bright fabrics and a mixture of textures and prints.<\/p>\n

Thanks Wanda, Brenda and Jane… your quilt makes us smile!<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
