Her quilt \u201cWillow\u201d was named as One of the One Hundred Best American Quilts of the Century. Jane is also the author of \u201cThe Quilted Garden.\u201d&nbsp; The book includes twenty years of her work and exercises for making nature-inspired quilts.&nbsp;<br><br>Jane\u2019s 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. Her designs are oversized and colorful and have been coined as \u201cWilliam Morris on anti-depressants.\u201d They are created for quilts, wearables, and home decorating. Her latest book, \u201cPatchwork Sassaman Style,\u201d beautifully illustrates her fabric \u201cin action\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane will provide a glimpse into the inspirations and process of designing fabric. From dreaming to drawing, coloring, and cutting. This is a colorful journey through the creative process. She will also show many quilts and accessories made with her FreeSpirit fabrics. Everyone will enjoy seeing how to use these contemporary prints to make dramatic quilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop: None<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jane Sassaman Lecture: Jane&#8217;s Textile Treasures Workshop (Zoom) Jane Sassaman&nbsp;(https:\/\/janesassaman.com\/) After a varied career in the design world, Jane began to quilt in 1980.&nbsp; She found that these \u201csoft paintings\u201d satisfied the draftsman, the craftsman, and the artist in her.&nbsp; <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/program\/programs-workshops-2027-initial\/november-2027-program\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":7685,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-7866","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7866"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7911,"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7866\/revisions\/7911"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amadorvalleyquilters.org\/Wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
