Textile Commissions

This section features some of the textile commissions completed by textile artist Jean M. Judd, over the last two plus decades. Scroll down to view the most recent ones along with descriptions and detail images of each work. Work completed in the 2000s can be seen here and  work from the 1990s can be seen here. The side bar menu to the left also will move you from page to page. Discover the possibilites!

I want my clients to be as involved in the commission process as they want to be. I conduct an interview to get general life information from them to be incorporated into their custom art quilt. The owner's personality needs to show in the artwork as well, even if they are the only ones that recognize it. Much like the style reflected in their homes and offices, the piece has to "fit" them. This is why I make work to fit a Vision -- whether it be my vision in my gallery work or my client's vision when making a commission piece.

When you are interested in having a piece designed and constructed for youself, or to give as a gift for someone else, please go to the Commission Forms page. If you would prefer to send me an email to start the process, please go to the Contact Artist page and fill in the email form. I usually answer all emails within 24 to 48 hours. If you have not heard from me after 48 hours, please contact me again, as sometimes for unknown reasons, emails get lost in cyberspace and I don't receive them. Some things are just out of our control and the Internet is one of them.

General information is available on my Commission Forms page and clients can fill out the appropriate form for their order. I am always happy to help clients brainstorm and find what they truly want created just for them and the specific place they have in mind for the completed work. Clients can be as involved or uninvolved with the development of their art piece as they desire. This is why I make textile artwork to fit a vision and not follow current trends which could be out of vogue before the piece is even completed and displayed.

Just send me an email or call me and I will be glad to discuss the possibilities. Private studio tours are available upon request to prospective clients as well. On-site consultations can also be available when schedule permits, for a fee.

This traditional “Lovers Knot” quilt pattern design was constructed by my client. She then commissioned me to do the hand quilting of the piece over a three month period the beginning of 2011. There is over 280 hours of time put into the intricate hand quilting on this large piece.

 
It was on public display for two days in October of 2011. The piece now resides in a private collection in Minnesota. It was on public display for two days in October of 2011.
