C Jean Horst Quilts
While there are many fine quilt designers in Lancaster, C Jean Horst’s quilt creations stand out from all the others. Her ability to select fabrics and create custom quilts is phenomenal.
Jean tells how her mother taught her, at the age of five, to use her sewing machine to make doll clothes. She has been sewing ever since. Yet it was on a family vacation much later that she first discovered the creative and colorful world of quilts. In spite of living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the quilt capitol of the world, she purchased her first pattern while on vacation in Tennessee.
Her hobby has now become a meaningful business of 36 years. She works with many ambitious women, who piece, appliqué, mark, quilt, and bind quilts and crib quilts, creating heirlooms for tomorrow and functional art for today. She has had the privilege of designing and managing some very special projects. Of special note she designed the Governor’s Star – an original quilt for Governor Tom Ridge, and a millennium quilt “It’s About Time” for an American Cancer Society raffle (which raised over $30,000!) as well as doing quilts for a Disney Movie “Utterly Beloved.”

All quilted quilts with abundant quilting such as this one are most treasured quilts. With fine stitching and more than 4 times the quilting found on a typical well made quilt, the quilt takes an extraordinary amount of time to make and consequently few are made. This one was made by an experienced Amish woman. A quilt that will be a great generational pass along heirloom!!
