Author description
Janice Vaine—seamstress, quilter, appliqué enthusiast, pattern designer, and teacher—enjoys sharing her love of needlearts with her students. Her teaching credentials include the past 5 years at The Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy, the International Quilt Festival, Texas quilt guilds, and quilt and sewing shops for over 20 years.
Jan finds joy studying the methods used by needle artists of antique quilts and vintage embroidery and how they interpreted their designs with elements of embroidery, stumpwork and ribbonwork. The exquisite handwork of treasured vintage pieces is the inspiration for her fresh new designs.
