Dear Jane 
An English Paper Piecing Block of the Month
Presented by DuckaDilly and Paper Pieces with Brenda Papadakis
*This is a recurring charge.*

Dear Jane,

We're so excited, we just can't contain ourselves! For years, we've seen beautiful quilts inspired by your masterpiece. We read Brenda's book, Dear Jane, learning your story and hers, and fell in love even more. So many interpretations, all unique and all lovely. And how delightful, for a world of quilters to be so fascinated by one woman's wonderful creation. Discovering it in EPP was a revelation, as Jess at Paper Pieces made such a huge undertaking feel so approachable. And so approach we have!

We're finally ready to undertake our own variation of your quilt, inspired both by our love of Liberty Tana Lawn® and the years of history that your quilt has accumulated. Jane, what would you have made of the colors and prints of Tana Lawn®? Would you be a fan of Betsy? Or loved the playful structure of Strawberry Thief? We can’t wait to stitch our way through The Quilt, congratulating and encouraging each other as we make our own heirlooms to be treasured through the years.

Wish us luck, Jane!

xo, DuckaDilly

Join us on a grand sewing adventure as we embark on a hand-stitching journey through a beloved historical quilt! Discover the heart and heritage of Dear Jane, lovingly reimagined in a gorgeous rainbow of Liberty Tana Lawn®.

Instructions
Dear Jane is a quilt pattern by Brenda Papadakis, based on the 1863 Jane Stickle quilt. It is necessary that you own a copy of Brenda's book Dear Jane to complete this project. We have copies available for purchase to ship in your first month's box, if you do not already own a copy. 

In addition, there will be printed modification booklets included with each month's EPP papers, noting any changes from Brenda's pattern to the EPP papers. 

We will also provide monthly PDF illustrations in your DuckaDilly account to indicate fabric placement for each block.

Email Address
Please check out with the email address that will be used for the duration of the BOM. The email address will be used for important BOM correspondence, such as payment confirmation, shipping updates, and accessing instructions.

EPP Starter Kit
New to EPP? We are offering EPP Starter Kits, which contain our favorite English Paper Piecing notions tucked away in a DuckaDilly Zip Pouch. If you choose to purchase an EPP Starter Kit, it will arrive in your first BOM box.

Acrylic Set
The Dear Jane Acrylic Set is available in 1/4" and 3/8" seam allowance. The acrylic set is not necessary to complete the Dear Jane quilt. Because there are so many pieces in the quilt, the 10-piece set only covers the most common shapes.

Sewing Level
Dear Jane is appropriate for confident beginners. We'll be encountering a range of skills, including EPP curves, appliqué, and small pieces. No technique is too complicated, and we'll have tips and tricks along the way! If you are brand new to English Paper Piecing, Dear Jane is a great way to encounter many shapes and techniques! If you are an experienced sewist, Dear Jane still has enough surprises to keep you on your toes!

How should I care for my Tana Lawn?
Liberty Tana Lawn® does not need to be pre-washed before working with it. Because of the high-quality production of the fabric, shrinkage when washing is negligible.

Washing Care
We recommend washing Tana Lawn® on cool with delicate detergent. Hang drying is preferable; if using the dryer, we recommend a low temperature.

Ironing
Iron on a cotton setting with steam.
