joanie with sweet dreams quilt on wall Welcome to the gallery of Heirloom Machine Quilted artwork by Joanie Zeier Poole. Combining refined free-motion techniques with her elegant style, rich fabrics, lightweight thread, and the perfect batting, Joanie sculpts patchwork and appliqué canvasses with original illustrations and background textures. Current work focuses on including narrative images into the design of quilts using initials to dedicate her work to special people and events. The unusual trellis, checkerboard and basket weave background textures are Joanie’s personal signature.

Please come in and enjoy the quilts, listed in chronological order, beginning with the most recent work. Read the stories of how the quilts were constructed and about the life experiences and relationships they represent. Awards earned at quilt competitions are included.
