 Jacqueline Johnson, fiber artist, art quilter, writer, and poet.

​

In truth my quilts are not your grandmother’s quilt.  Most of my art quilts are created using original designs, applique, machine, and hand quilting.  In my practice I use myth, historic figures, and current events as sources for quilts. The quilts I make hang on walls, cover new babies and occasional adult forms.  My process has evolved, and I spend more time planning the quilt and drawing before I begin the sewing process.  I work more in series.  I play more with the use of paint, photos, beads, and other dimensional items. 

 

Recent exhibitions include: “Celebrations of Black Mermaids:  From Africa to America,” “Sacred Threads 2022.” “By the Work of Her Hands,” at the Fabric Workshop, Philadelphia, PA.
