Currently at The Quilters Hall of Fame:
Judy Martin made her first quilt in 1969 and was immediately hooked on the art form. Since that time, Martin has significantly influenced quilting in terms of craft, aesthetics, and industry standards. A master pattern designer and technician, her designs are distinctive for their remarkable complexity and high level of artistry. As a teacher she instills empowerment in her students, while her meticulously accurate books have inspired countless quilters worldwide.
Martin was inducted into The Quilters Hall of Fame in July, 2026
