About the Author

Joen began quiltmaking in 1974, after she left her career in the education field to become a homemaker and stay-at-home mom. Her interest in color and design surfaced in the early 1980's. She has taught and lectured in the quilting field, both nationally and internationally, since 1984. Her guest international work has included engagements in England, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Germany, Holland, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

In the 1980's, Joen created commissioned textile art for many private clients and corporations. Her work is included in collections throughout the world. Joen is the author of nine books and products. Several have been bestsellers in the arts and crafts field. Her works include A Garden Party of Quilts, Color Play, Make Any Block Any Size, Patchwork Persuasion, The Visual Dance, The Magical Effects of Color, Landscape & Illusions, Paper Crafter's Color Companion and the 3-in-1 Color Tool. Joen's earliest bestsellers (Landscape & Illusions, The Magical Effects of Color, The Visual Dance) will be available electronically in 2007.

Joen is the owner of JWO Publishing, a pattern company that publishes designs by leading quiltmakers and designers. These patterns may be purchased at quilt and fabric stores under each designer's pattern-line name.

Joen enjoys working in her garden, reading, photography, hiking, playing bridge and spending time with her family.
