Jane E. HamiltonWhat more perfect gift for any of us to receive than the “Gift of Love.”  Quilting is a product of those gifts for me.  I am a Quilt Teacher, Designer and Lecturer who has come full circle.   

Beginning with exposure to handwork at an early age from two loving, talented grandmothers, I developed an ever-increasing interest in needlework and antiques.  Never one to have idle hands, I settled into quilting in 1981.  I continue to share and explore new techniques, while maintaining my love of the basic traditional foundation, by helping with vintage quilt documentations whenever possible.

My secondary education background provided the teaching base to share my talents with all of you. Today, I cherish being able to give back "The Gifts of Love", I have received, to other Quilters who have the same driving passion for this unique craft.  It is truly a thrill to lecture to, or teach at, a guild and share my treasures with the hope of giving you new creative inspirations! 

Piecefully,
Jane
