Judy Mathieson became interested in quiltmaking in 1973 while
completing a BS degree in Home Economics (Textiles and Clothing) at
California State University Northridge. She lectures and conducts
workshops throughout the United States, and has worked in Canada,
Japan, Australia, Scotland, New Zealand and England. She is
certified by the National Quilt Association as a Judge.
Her work has won numerous prizes at Houston Quilt Festival, Pacific
International Quilt Festival, Quilt National, Visions, NQA, and
many other shows. Judy and her husband Jack lived for 30 years in
the Los Angeles Area, but moved in 1996 to Sebastopol, 50 miles
north of San Francisco. Jack is a retired systems manager who
photographs quilts. They have two grown sons, a grandson, and three
very important border collie dogs.
Mariner's compass quilt designs and their many variations are
Judy's specialties. She uses various methods of piecing including
freezer paper foundations that eliminate stitching through the
paper. She also makes quilts for her own pleasure featuring dogs,
since her husband enjoys training his dogs for sheep herding
competitions.
