Malgorzata Joanna Jenek

Malgorzata Joanna Jenek is a quilter, designer, and patchwork teacher, originally from Poland and now living in Germany. Sewing and crafting have been her passion since she was very young. She started by making clothes for her dolls. A few years later, she created thousands of garments for her friends and herself.Patchwork and hand appliqué have become her greatest passion and a particularly beautiful form of “meditation with fabrics and colors,” especially since all her quilts and quilted patterns are handmade. Each of her quilts tells its own story—open your eyes wide and let the fabrics speak!

The current times are marked by haste and often stress, and every day we forget about the beauty hidden in the small but fleeting moments of everyday life. It is said that beauty lies in simplicity, we just need to remember it…. Malgorzata’s (aka Margott’s) quilts reveal stories about dreams, dressed in idyllic and seemingly infantile pictures painted with fabric, under which are hidden messages for all those sensitive to beauty. They tell of the harmony that the world has often longed for lately and of peace in the hearts of all people…. F. Dostoevsky once wrote “Beauty can save the world”. Since 2012 she has been creating quilts with this motto in her heart.
