 Textile Art…Discover the Possibilities!TM
About the artist:
Jean M. Judd of Cushing, Wisconsin, has been a textile artist for over twenty years. Jean is a self-taught art quilter who uses only hand quilting in her artwork. She has been making commission art quilts for clients since the mid 1990s. In 2004 Sisters In Stitches was formally registered as a business in Wisconsin and has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since. Custom hand dyed fabrics have been added as well as doing custom hand quilting for other textile artists and traditional quilters.
Jean uses an 18 inch hoop for a majority of her quilting. On occasion she also uses a 14 inch hoop or an oblong 16 inch hoop for doing the outer edges.
All of her work is original designs, some still using traditional quilt blocks, others being contemporary quilts. She does not use thimbles while hand quilting as she feels her stitches are more consistent and smaller without the thimble. It is more difficult for her to feel the needle when using a thimble. There is no painting on her quilts or fusing of fabrics to one another. All applique is done by hand. Most of her quilts made to date have been full size to king size quilts with moderate size quilts now just coming into her series work.
Jean now has her dream studio as of July 2007! Visit her website, http://www.jeanjudd.com to see the transition from her early studios to her current one. She relocated to the 1st floor of her house and has taken over the 2 largest rooms. She now has a 12 foot by 8 foot design wall, 14x12 foot office space and a huge studio space with Full Spectrum Lighting right off the office area. She can enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and can walk right out the sliding patio door. See the article about the evolution of her studio in The Professional Quilter Journal Fall of 2007 as well as in Art Calendar magazine in December of 2007.
There are over 150 quilts residing in homes across the US and internationally. Many of her art quilts, home decor and wall hangings are in private collections, or been sold at auctions as well as fundraising raffles for national charitable organizations. Many of the recent textile commissions have been made for retirement occassions or for new home constructions.
Jean's Philosophy: "Not everything in life is about speed, quantity and immediate satisfaction. I could make hundreds of pieces a year by machine quilting instead of hand quilting. It is NOT about how many pieces I can produce quickly, it is about making a quality piece with old world craftsmanship and details that are uniquely mine. Each piece is designed by me. I select the fabric to be used and I piece it all together into a one-of-a-kind, unique artwork. My work is evolving now into more whole cloth pieces. Every quilt stitch is made by my two hands and a part of me resides in each piece. The design evolves as the process continues to completion."
Jean also offers custom hand quilting on clients antique and contemporary quilt tops. Contact her for further information through the Contact Artist option located on the sidebar.
Jean constructs commission pieces of any size for clients. She can be contacted via email for more details using the Contact Artist option located on the sidebar.
The question always arises about how many stitches per inch does she achieve in her quilts? Jean says she counts the stitches the traditional way that the Amish do -- only the stitches on the top of the quilt. She maintains 7 to 8 stitches per inch depending on the thickness of the batting. Most store bought quilts that are hand quilted have 3 to 4 stitches per inch maximum.
Many hand quilters today count the stitches on the front and the back of the quilt. If she did that, then her stitch count per inch would be 14 to 16 stitches per inch. It is good to check with the quilter as to whether they are counting stitches on just the top of the quilt or top and bottom when comparing stitches per inch.
Jean's website, http://www.jeanjudd.com is up and running. This website provides more detail about her construction process as well as direct information on how to commission your own art quilt. There also is a gallery of current works in progress and a more centralized listing of current exhibitions so clients can see her work in person. As you know, photographs, no matter how professional, don't do justice to the details on textile art. They need to be seen in person to get the full effect of the minute details.
Jean has been a member of the Mixed Sampler Quilt Guild in Frederic, WI since 1996. She was the Secretary for the 100+ member guild 1997 through 1998. She is a regular writer for the monthly newsletter and is a member of the Annual Quilt Show Setup Committee and Chairman of Publicity for the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011 show. Jean was elected to serve as the Guild President for 2009 & 2010.
