Shelagh Jessop is an American-born textile artist living in Western France. Shelagh studied textile design at the University of Kansas where she began her love of hand-dying fabrics. Inspired by the quilters of Gees Bend, Shelagh began using her own hand-dyed works in the creation of quilts that she considered to be like painting with fabrics. Recently, Shelagh began her company Stuart Moores Textiles, which she named after her great-grandfather, a hard-working inventor and engineer who inspired her with his work ethic and ingenuity. In addition to selling quilts, home goods, and templates, Shelagh is a brand new mom to her son, Julian. Only a month old, you can find his cuteness peppering Shelagh’s instagram feed amongst the gorgeous hand-dyed textiles and yarns from her projects. Shelagh’s work has been exhibited all over the world and you can find her webinars on appliqué and improv quilting on the Modern Quilt Guild’s website. In addition, Shelagh teaches classes and workshops, and her work was featured in Curated Quilts, vol. 1. Welcome, Shelagh!
