The quilts in this post are from my early days of quilting. They are for the new archive page on my website, (judithemartin.com) which will go live there next month.
Thank you to the family members and collectors who loaned pieces back to me so that they could be photographed digitally. Thank you Nick for taking the photos. Thank you Zoe, for helping me get them onto the website.
I made quilts to save and nurture my creative self. I started in my early 20’s. I will continue to make them and I am thankful.

All just lovely pieces, Judy; I especially love that "Folk Art-ey" one --
"Counting My Blessings" --and that you put that hand on it --just makes me think how important working with our hands is to us;)))
I am working on four panels for my "Home Is Where My Heart Is" and I think i will put hand(s) on one...thanks so much for the inspiration.
I find that I am moving to handwork more and more --going back to my early roots when my Grand-mere showed me how to sew and embroider and knit...hugs, Julierose
Gosh Judy, such a collection of a life's work! I especially like "Something More Magical Than It Ever Was 1991"
