I'm often asked if my professional name is Judith or Judy. My website is
Judith Martin Textile Artist. People often call me Judith. (They also call me Jude, Judy, Mom, Sweetie.) My mother named me Judith, but she called me Jude. My dad calls me Judy.
This weekend I decided (again) to be Judith e Martin professionally and Judy or Jude to my friends. (
Margaret Atwood's friends call her Peggy)
If you google Judy Martin the prolific author of books on traditional quilting comes up first and I worry that that some people still confuse me with her. I am not her. I am
the Canadian Judy Martin who makes quilts. (Google also brings up Judy Martin the wrestler but I am not worried about confusion there)
The Storm at Sea quilt in this post was a wedding gift for Tom (Ned's brother) and Marg in 1988. (Number
82 on the one hundred quilts blog.) It's ironic I suppose that page 41 of
Scrap Quilts by Judy Martin was my resource. I have the quilt because April borrowed it for wedding decor.
