Testimonials

Jeannie,
I was very surprised and extremely touched by your gift of a quilt for my new grandchild. I can’t wait to give it to her! Your work is beautiful and I am sure both she and her mother will treasure it. Thank you so much, Roxanne K.


Jeannie,
Thank you so much for the darling personalized blanket for little Parker. Indeed you are very talented. It definitely filled our hearts with warmth!
Thanks again (from our hearts.)

Quilting evokes strong emotions within me. I strive to create pieces that are not only beautiful but functional; I see the quilt titles and labels as a bridge from me to the viewer.

When starting a new project, I’ll be drawn to a “focus” fabric first. From there, the search is on for the perfect way to showcase that fabric—it might be a traditional pieced quilt, a whole cloth quilt, maybe a stained glass quilt, or possibly a purse.

I continue to explore ways to turn deep emotions into tangible artworks. Currently I am creating Victorian Gate Closure (extremely unique hardware) purses. The body of the purse is made from a mother’s or grandmother’s wedding gown, and then given to the bride (a daughter, grand daughter or daughter-in-law-to-be) as her “something old” for her wedding day.

In addition, I am working on pieces where I recreate a grandparent’s signature on a baby blanket; a child’s hand print and signature on a wall hanging; taking a mother’s aprons and fashioning them into pillows for each of her children; and fashioning a great-great grandmother’s long forgotten crazy quilt squares into piano runners. The quilt titles usually come quickly to me; the soul searching takes place while composing the label.

By far the most technically challenging are the stained glass quilts. In the future, I would like to learn to do custom fabric dying to recreate fabric colors I see in my mind’s eye!
