About Jane Sassaman: Jane began quilting in 1980. Since then her graphic quilts have been shown in
many national and international exhibits. Her quilt “Willow” was named as One of
the One Hundred Best American Quilts of the 20th Century. Jane is also the
author of “The Quilted Garden”, “Patchwork Sassaman Style” and “Color My
Garden”. Jane’s love for 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 FreeSpirit.
