Inappropriate Quilters

The girls were giddy when they were able to spend some time with Janet Wecker Frisch recently at Missouri Star's Birthday Bash. They knew they had to get her on the show! Janet's art has been translated to millions of yards of high quality cotton fabrics. Her diverse collections and unique approach to fabric design has inspired makers around the world. Her childhood fascination with characters inspires a story-telling quality and a depth of detail, offering a journey of continued discovery. Janet’s engaging body of work includes three identifiable elements – visual humor, heartfelt messaging and relatable images. Each watercolor-rendered piece is a short story that conveys a big message with compelling and concise imagery. Through her artistic eye and a God-given talent Janet creates imaginative designs that delight. The opportunity to share her gift through art fulfills a childhood dream and we all get to benefit!
