Jan Mullen
Quiltmaker and Designer | Textile Artist
Jan Mullen has long influenced the quilting world with her unmistakable Stargazey style, where playful, free-flowing designs are built from cutting, shifting, and stitching pieces back together in unexpected ways.
Jan’s Stargazey work challenges many of the conventions of traditional quilting, freeing quilters from templates and hours of mathematical problem-solving. Each quilt becomes a unique expression of its maker, where fabric choice, construction, and creativity combine in different ways every time.
Her workshops, lectures and teaching took her around the world, beginning at quilting
conventions in Texas and continuing across the United States, Europe, India, Uzbekistan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the Whitsundays, among many others. Quilters are drawn to her quirky, crooked techniques and the way complex-looking designs are adaptable to any skill level.
More recently, Jan Mullen has focused on contemporary textile art, bringing mixed media elements into her already distinctive creative style. Working in the community has been rewarding, leading students through their own creative journeys to much success. Take a gaze over at Jan Mullen.
Stargazey is now opening its patterns, skills and techniques to the online world.
