this is the info I copied from the EQ site about Dear Hannah:
"Dear Hannah: In the Style of Jane A. Stickle is the next book in the Dear Jane sampler craze. This charming book, by Brenda Papadakis, includes pieced and appliquéd patterns from the quilt she made for her granddaughter, Hannah. The book shows all of the 144 block patterns as well as 48 border triangles and four corner kites. And in classic Dear Jane style, you can read 28 letters from grandmother to granddaughter."
so apparently Brenda Papadakis - the author of both books [Dear Jane and Dear Hannah] was so interested in the style of quilting - size of blocks, number of fabrics, applique, etc. that Jane Stickle used to create her quilt, that she designed one for her own granddaughter 'Hannah.' She also wrote the book the same manner as her Dear Jane book - writing letters to her granddaughter. The Dear Hannah quilt has many more applique blocks and is more pictorial than the Dear Jane quilt is.
