Raffle quilt: Broadway Jane

May 10, 2009 by Scarlett Burroughs

I visited the Empire Quilters website this morning and was totally blown away by their 2009 Raffle Quilt, shown here with permission. If all raffle quilts were this amazing the world would be a better place in terms of donations and aesthetics.

The New York based guild describes this quilt as their interpretation of the Dear Jane quilt made by Jane A. Stickle in 1863. They explained that Jane was made famous by living author Brenda Manges Papadakis in her book Dear Jane: The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt.  You can visit Brenda online at Dear Jane to learn more about her as an author.

Fans of the Dear Jane quilt are making their own, called Baby Jane quilts. Check out a Baby Jane quilt along at That Quilt blog that started in January 2009. So far, followers have made 112 of the 225 blocks needed. Go here to see instructions. Hopefully these instructions will be archived.

Viral Crochet Prodigy Story Takes Dark Turn — But We’re Staying Focused on the Craft

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations.  At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content. 

We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.

We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.

Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
