The discovery that beloved English writer Jane Austen had made a quilt, and a visit to the author's home in Chawton, England, was just the impetus that Karen Gloeggler needed to create a series of quilts and book inspired by Austen's romantic novels. Karen shares how to find and incorporate vintage fabrics, handkerchiefs, and doilies into your quilts to give them a period flair, and shows a clever technique for making a scrappy pieced border, perfect for a Jane-inspired quilt.
You'll also meet author and quilt historian Janet Finley, who has amassed the world's largest collection of 19th- and early-20th-century photos of people with quilts, and the book she created to showcase them.
