Jo Morton is a quilt
artist, fabric designer, teacher, author, lecturer and student of our
ancestral quilt making. Her use of color, design and fine stitchery
give her quilts the feeling of being made in the 19th Century. These
quilts complement both the country and contemporary setting. Her work
is included in private and public collections across the country.
Jo presents re-creations of antique quilts, imitating colors and styles
of period pieces, using an antique quilt as a source of inspiration,
she creates an interpretation - a quilt that might have been made in
the 19th Century. Jo sold her quilts at juried Folk Art Shows in
Pennsylvania, Virginia and New England from 1988 through 2003.
