Who is Lola Jenkins?

Lola Jenkins has brought a unique vision through her incredible art quilts. Her quilts display the joy and freedom of pursuing her passion. Without any background in sewing, art, perspective, or drawing, she developed her passion. Through her courage and fearless approach in creating art quilts she has evolved to master-quilter status. Lola states, "I don't know the rules, so I couldn't break the rules of quilting."

Lola has won numerous first place ribbons, best of show, judge’s choice award, and best use of color. She has appeared in magazines, been the featured artist at numerous events, appeared on the Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims “The Quilt Show”, and is currently an instructor with Craftsy.com.

Lola currently gives programs, trunk shows, workshops, and classes for guilds, cruise ships, retreats, and organizations across the U.S. and aboard. She presents a hilariously funny, informative yet unforgettable program and trunk show that should be turned into a movie. Her classes are taught with skill... unique... fun and worth their weight in gold. She is known for her classes on portraits, fantasy collages, silhouettes, and thread art just to name a few. Lola is reaching the masses with her unique style and vision.

Apri 2, 2026, Lola passed away surrounded by love. The quilting world will greatly miss a beautiful, talented quiter with a beautiful spirit!
