2025 Quiltscape Featured Quilter
Annabelle Jankowiak
In 1991 Annabelle attended her first quilt show…just as something to do on a Sunday afternoon. This show just happened to be the Faithful Circle Quilters show. After seeing many spectacular quilts, she knew she had to learn how to quilt. The next day she signed up for a beginner quilting class at Stitches n Stuffing Quilt Shop.
Over the next 13 years, she made a dozen quilts and gave them all away.
In late 2004, with her youngest off to college, Annabelle began taking many more classes. Over the course of the next 20 years Annabelle made more than 300 quilts!
She credits all of the wonderful instructors she had at shops such as Pieceful Hearts, Thimbles, and Prairie Stiches Quilt Shoppe for providing the education that enabled her to produce all of her amazing quilts.
Since 2003, Sue Pawlowski has enhanced Annabelle’s quilts with her longarm quilting skills. While Annabell enjoys piecing, she appreciates Sue’s choice of design and scale and the finishing touch she adds to Annabelle’s quilts.
We’d love to show and tell you more about Annabelle and her quilting journey but you can see all of her work and hear many of her entertaining stories, (and a whole lot more!) at Quiltscape, 2025.
