The quilts of Jacquie Gering

Many of you know of Jacquie Gering. If you don’t recognize the name, you will probably recognize her book…..

She was the special guest at Quiltcon2024 and there was an excellent exhibit of her quilts!!

As you might expect, all of her pieces are made better by the use of quilting….

This next quilt was made for friend’s front hallway. Jacquie said that she used the interior design and colors of the home as her inspiration….

The rotational quilting adds so much to the design….

The story behind this next quilt is so cute…..

The quilt is wonderful….

It was also refreshing to see print fabrics used in this piece!!

This next quilt was made in two parts. The original version was matchstick quilted back in 2012, but then she returned to it in 2023 and decided to add more to the finished and bound quilt….

The addition were concentric, layered, quilted circles and it made so much difference to the quilt….

This next quilt was based on a book called “Line Design” by Dale Seymore. The book sounded interesting and I check it out. Unfortunately it was written in 1974 and is no longer available!!….

From looking at the cover of the recommended book, I am thinking that her quilting designs were inspired by the exercises in the book.

Another very similar quilt…..

I appreciate the way that she changed thread colors so that the two designs don’t get entangled with each other!!

Her first statement about this quilt is “I’m not good with color”!! She claims that her color theory was developed from a book by Josef Albers…..

After looking at this book further, I decided to spent $16 and purchase it. Book review will follow!!!

Regardless of Jacquie’s regard of her color prowess, this quilt is wonderful….

I love the big blocks of warm colors and especially the quilting…

Those lines would be SO simple to quilt but are sure effective!!

The final quilt for today is a simple star design…..

…but MAN does the quilting add to the design…..

I love how she layers the quilting one on top of the other!!

Come back tomorrow and we will explore more of her fantastic quilts….
