Quilter honoree
Joyce Owens is being recognized as the Cranberry Country Quilters’ 2026 Quilt Show Honoree for her passion for quilting, leadership and dedication to teaching and mentoring fellow quilters.
Known for her vibrant use of color, Owens creates quilts distinguished by bold fabric combinations, thoughtful design and detailed machine quilting. While she often begins with a pattern, she is recognized for making each project uniquely her own through creative fabric selection and color placement. Although experienced in longarm quilting, Owens prefers quilting on her home sewing machine.
Owens has served the guild in several leadership roles, including president from 2003 to 2004 and again from 2019 to 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as vice president from 2007 to 2008.
Guild members said Owens’ creativity, leadership, generosity and commitment to lifelong learning have enriched the quilting community and inspired countless fellow quilters.
