Instructor

Hughes, Joyce
Joyce Hughes is an award-winning self-taught quilter, fiber artist, and author from Asbury, NJ. Her first quilt was a T-shirt quilt, which she enjoyed making, but felt limited in expressing her artistic capabilities. Within several months, she began to design pictorial landscape quilts using raw edge applique, thread painting, and a variety of embellishments. Never knowing the “rules” she broke a lot of them, but with exciting results! Her first art quilt, MOTHER’S DAY, won a blue ribbon at a national show, sparking a journey that has brought numerous awards, recognitions, and opportunities. Some of Joyce’s notable achievements include: McCall’s Quilt Designer 2012 – Professional Category for McCall’s Quilting Magazine, as well as serving as an endorser and sample maker for Northcott and Timeless Treasures fabrics, and ambassador for Mettler Threads and Brother Sewing. Joyce has authored two books, Creating Art Quilts with Panels, which explores adding dimension and texture to fabric panels using thread and embellishments, creating a style of her own! Her second book released in October 2020, Thread Paint A Garden Quilt, focuses on raw edge appliqué and thread painting to add shading, highlighting, and definition. Joyce loves to teach and share her tips. One of her greatest accomplishments is when a student creates their own artwork using Joyce’s Dimensional Thread Painting technique!
