For quilters, Jeana’s name has long been synonymous with beautiful appliqué design. Her quiltmaking career began over twenty years ago when she drew her first Baltimore album-inspired appliqué designs because no patterns were available. She has since published dozens of books and patterns showcasing her skills. Jeana was introduced to back-basting appliqué by a quilt shop owner in California over ten years ago, and she has expanded, improved, and popularized the technique throughout the country.
