She found that these "soft paintings" satisfied the draftsman\, the craftsman and the artist in her. Consequently\, she is now a dedicated\, some say obsessed\, quilt artist and fabric designer.\n\nHer art quilts have been shown in many national and international exhibits\, including Quilt National 1989 through 2005 and Contemporary American Quilts\, the first major exhibit of American art quilts in England. Her quilt "Willow" was named as One of the One Hundred Best American Quilts of the Century. Jane is also the author of "The Quilted Garden". The book includes twenty years of her work and exercises for making nature-inspired quilts. \n\nJane's love her historic decorative arts can be seen in all facets of her work\, but it is especially evident in the exuberant fabric she is currently designing for FreeSpirits Fabrics. Her designs are oversized\, and they are created for quilts\, wearables and home decorating. Her latest book\, "Patchwork Sassaman Style" beautifully illustrates her fabric in action.
