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. **Source**: [Jean Ray Laury](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ray_Laury) on Wikipedia.
