Joyce Hughes – Joyce Hughes Originals Joyce
Hughes (from Asbury, NJ) is an award-winning self-taught
quilter, fiber artist, and author. Her first quilt was a
T-shirt quilt, which she enjoyed making, but felt limited in
the ability to express her artistic capabilities. Within
several months, she began to design pictorial landscape
quilts using raw-edge appliqué, thread painting, and a
variety of embellishments. Never knowing the “rules”, she
broke a lot of them, but with exciting results!Amazingly, her first art quilt, “Mother’s Day”, was entered into a national show and won a blue ribbon. This has led to numerous awards, recognitions, and opportunities in the quilting world. Several proud accomplishments for Joyce are: “McCall’s Quilt Designer – Professional Category” for McCall’s Quilting Magazine; also an endorser and sample maker for Northcott and Timeless Treasures fabrics, and Ambassador for Mettler Threads and Brother Sewing. Joyce is an author of 2 books. Joyce’s first book, Creating Art Quilts with Panels, is focused on working with Fabric Panels to create dimension and texture with threads and embellishments, creating a style of your own! Joyce’s second book, Thread Paint A Garden Quilt, focuses on raw-edge appliqué and thread painting to add shading, highlighting, and definition. Joyce loves to teach and share her tips. One of her greatest accomplishments is when a student creates their own artwork following Joyce’s technique of Dimensional Thread Painting! https://janehaworth.com |
