JUDY MARTIN'S QUILT SHOW

Judy Martin is a prolific author and designer who has invented five quilting tools and contributed more than 635 original designs to the world quilt repertoire. She enjoys creating original works that carry forward the traditions of quiltmaking.

Judy usually works with repeating blocks or with medallion formats, as quilters have done for 200 years. Her block designs stretch tradition in the details more than in the overall effect. She often arranges her blocks in rhythmic sets with new twists. Her work clearly shows a familiarity with and appreciation for traditional quilts, while exhibiting a playfulness and a creative spark.

Through her books, Judy aims to help quilters improve their craft and expand their horizons, not just complete their current projects. Her latest book, The Creative Pattern Book, combines complete patterns with a primer on the creative process that allows quiltmakers to carry the book's patterns further, if they so desire.

You'll find instructions for the quilts in this online show in Judy's books, available in the SewAndQuilt.com Shopping Center.
