Janice E. Frisch is a quilt historian, folklorist, and published author who has been quilting and researching quilts for over 20 years.

Her research on European influences in early American quilting has been published by the Modern Quilt Guild, the International Quilt Museum in the book, American Quilts in the Industrial Age, 1760–1870, edited by Patricia Cox Crews and Carolyn Ducey, and in Quilt Studies: The Journal of the British Quilt Study Group.

She offers classes on free motion quilting and labeling your quilts and her illustrated lectures include:

The History of the American Block-Style Quilt

This illustrated lecture explores British and Dutch patchwork from the eighteenth century to identify patterns and motifs used by colonial and early-American quilters. It also examines how early Americans adapted the layout of their quilts, moving from a predominantly medallion-style arrangement to the repeating block-style that is thought of as iconically American today. Participants will come away with a clear understanding of colonial and early Euro-American patchwork styles and lots of inspiration to use in their own artwork today.

What’s in a Name? Documenting Quilts of Yesterday and Today

This talk shares some of the quilt history mysteries that Janice has unraveled (or failed to unravel) to highlight the kinds of information you should include when you are labeling your quilts. The lecture ends with practical considerations for today’s quilters: What tools are available to help you label your quilts and how do you use them? What level of information constitutes the bare minimum to put on a label and what is the ideal? And why does it all matter anyway?
