Paper-Piecing: A Jane Austen Craft

Maryellen Kosydar of the Jane Austen Society of North America will introduce us to the technique that Jane Austen and her family used to make the patchwork coverlet on display at Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton, England. She will share pictures and details about the original Jane Austen quilt and offer guidance for making your own patchwork shape, which you can use for a cushion cover, place mat, or pin cushion. All materials will be provided, but if you prefer to use your own scissors, pins, or needles, please bring them.
