Jeanne E. Glenfield

These special quilts made by Jeanne during the past 30+ years. A life filled with love for family and friends, in which quilting played a major part.

Jeanne took great pleasure in her various artistic endeavors with quilting being her particular passion. Hand work was her specialty and she took great pride in her work. From her smallest piece to her largest, Jeanne's love of applique is evident in the beautiful execution of her quilts, many of which are included in this exhibit.

Jeanne's early interest in art was as an oil painter and for a time she was fully involved with the Chelmsford Art Society. However, after working on a quilting project with the historic Chelmsford Garrison House, her lifelong interest in quilting began. Jeanne set aside her brushes, took up needle and thread, and the rest, as they say, "is history." As a quilter, one of her proudest achievements was being co-founder of A Quilters' Gathering. A Quilters' Gathering was first presented in 1989 by co-founders and directors, Marie Geary and Jeanne Glenfield. Marie Geary provided gallery talks for this special exhibit in 2008 and told about this long-time friendship and partnership.

Jeanne was born January 8, 1939 in Lancaster, PA.  After 14 months spent traveling and enjoying her family and friends, while bravely battling cancer, she passed away July 22, 2007. Eastcoast Quilters Alliance 3, LLC is pleased to present this exhibit of Jeanne's beautiful quilts in honor of her achievements.
