Jenny Bear has been making quilts for more than 40 years. She exhibited at the Carrefour in 2022 and made a book with Quiltmania (Fit for Purpose : Quilts for Warmth and Comfort) in 2024.After her exhibition at Carrefour in 2025, she hopes that her quilt making will return to hobby level and that there may again be time for housework and gardening.

Steeped in tradition, Jenny’s quilts are a celebration of social history, fabric, colour, frugality and the art of making do. She loves using her stash of antique, vintage and reproduction fabrics as well as rescuing old, unquiltable or broken tops, fragments, orphan blocks and tiny scraps to make something beautiful from them. Her favourite quilts are simple, utilitarian and achievable by anyone who loves to sew. Enjoy!
