Artist Biography:
Janneke is my name – a very Dutch name because I was born in the Netherlands. I was a typical Dutch craftsy child who always wanted to become a teacher. I took up quilting once we moved to the USA. Having learned all the basics from the traditional Pennsylvania and Lancaster quilters, I try to combine their craftsmanship with my Dutch whimsical craft sense. I continue to teach children and adults to quilt and express themselves through the textile arts. I continue to learn and share new techniques and ways of making joyful pieces of fabric art.
