Jo Morton

Jo Morton is a quiltmaker, author, teacher, lecturer, a designer for Andover Fabrics, Inc. of New York, and a student of our ancestral quilt making. Her use of color and design give her quilts the feeling of being made in the 19th Century, but complement furnishings in the country, traditional and contemporary setting. Jo presents re-creations of antique quilts, imitating colors and styles of period pieces. Using an antique quilt's color and/or design as a source of inspiration, she creates an interpretation - a quilt that might have existed in the 19th Century. Her quilts are made in a lasting tradition, using new cotton fabrics, cotton batting and cotton quilting thread.
