Jane A. Sassaman is a contemporary quilt artist, fabric designer, author and teacher whose critically acclaimed work inspires creative confidence in aspiring artists of all backgrounds. Her internationally known quilts are recognized for their bold designs, celebrating the energy and miraculous beauty of garden flowers and plants. Jane's quilts are shown worldwide and can be found in many private and corporate art collections. Her quilt "Willow" was named one of the best 100 American Quilts of the Century, one example of the recognition her quilts inspire. This is Jane's second line of fabric for Free Spirit. The Exotic Garden debuted in 2002, heralding Jane's extravagant vision of flora and fauna to the fabric design world. Inspired by, among others, Arts & Craft founder William Morris, the Finnish design company Merimekko and textile artist Kaffe Fassett, Jane has unapologetically produced exuberant large-scale design motifs drenched in exciting color. Jane's web site www.janesassaman.com is a terrific visual resource for all things Sassaman. It contains Jane's periodic writing on the creative process as well as articles by other respected voices in the contemporary textile design movement. It also features a gallery of Jane's sumptuous art quilts, visual resource bibliography and a complete listing of Jane's teaching schedule.
Parents Weeks and Bill opened FunQuilts, a contemporary quilt design studio in Oak Park, Illinois in 1999 to design and make quilts for collectors, art galleries and interior designers. With their graduate design degrees and combined 30 years of quiltmaking experience Weeks and Bill’s quilts bring a modern twist to the great American quilting tradition. Their work has been featured in The New York Times, O: The Oprah Magazine, Country Living, TIME, Quilts Japan, and American Quilting & Patchwork. Weeks and Bill’s designs express the time and culture in which they live. Ever striving to learn more about the world around them which serves as their inspiration, their designs are often inspired by the fields of science, history, textile design, their world travels and everyday life. Their top-selling book, The Modern Quilt Workshop, introduced quilters around the world to a contemporary approach to quilt design. Color Harmony for Quilts, their first book, was translated into French and German as well. Designs articles by them have also appeared in American Patchwork & Quilting. Inspired by disciplines as far ranging as graphic design, architecture, glassblowing, fashion design, garden design and photography Weeks and Bill also teach design at Design Camp, a weeklong class held every summer on the campus of Dominican University. They have designed more than 100 fabrics for Free Spirit.
