About Jean Ray Laury
- Jean Ray Laury (March 22, 1928 – March 2, 2011) was an American academically trained artist and designer.
- She was one of the first fine artists to move to quilting as a medium of choice in the late 1950s.
- Her quilts followed neither traditional method nor pattern; they were bold, modern, colorful collages, often laced with humor and satire.
- Penning over twenty books and teaching over 2,000 workshops, Laury helped women see the creative possibilities in everyday objects and awake their sense of inspiration.
- Laury has been called a "foremother of a quilt revival", and "one of the pioneers" of non-traditional quilts.
