About Jan Timmer

Jan Timmer

Fabric Collage Artist and Quilter
 

My love for sewing started early—at the age of 10—when my mother, a talented seamstress, taught me how to create beautiful dresses and accessories. In the early 1980s, I expanded my skills to quilting and later added smocking, embroidery, and French hand sewing to my repertoire.

 

After retiring in 2017, I finally had the time to fully immerse myself in my passion for quilting and sewing. Then, in 2020, during the Covid lockdown, I stumbled upon the mesmerizing world of fabric collage. Determined to learn this art form, I dove into YouTube tutorials, absorbing techniques from various artists. Among them, Emily Taylor of Collage Quilterbecame my greatest inspiration.

 

Now, every stitch tells a story, and every piece of fabric is an opportunity to create something truly unique!
