Josephine has been an avid quilter for many years. Three friends gave her a quilt as a gift which introduced her to our wonderful world of quilting. After that she was hooked! She says her “first few quilts were examples of everything not to do when making a quilt.” After living in Southern California since she was born, Josephine and her husband decided to move to Utah where she continues her involvement in all aspects of quilting. In Utah she has served as an officer of the state guild for many years. At the State Guild’s 2021 Annual Quilt Fest event she was awarded the Silver Thimble award “for outstanding efforts to encourage, promote and preserve the art of quilt making in Utah.” |
Having made more than 200 quilts in just the past fourteen years, she was honored to be an Artist in Residence for Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar in 2015 and exhibited 40 quilts at that time. Since then, she has taught at Empty Spools for several years and will be teaching there again in 2023.
Josephine has exceptional skills in all areas of quilting including design, piecing techniques, and border options. She has an excellent awareness of color theory including value and texture, and she thoroughly enjoys assisting her students in the color/fabric selection for their projects.
As an example of her talent, expertise, and joy of teaching, in just the past few years she has taught numerous classes, and has exhibited some of her quilts in shows resulting in numerous ribbons including in 2021 winning first place with Jacqueline’s “Black Magic”. She has won blue ribbons for excellence at the Utah’s Springville Art Museum for several of her quilts.
