Biography of Jane Burch Cochran
About her work, Cochran states: "I started making small bead and fabric collages in 1978. The first fabrics I used were painted canvas and my father's neckties. The first large quilt I made was in 1985, and I have been completely obsessed with making art quilts since then - quilts both large and small but always for the wall."
