Jacqueline Jenkins is an accomplished interior and architectural designer in Jacksonville, Florida, with three decades of experience. Her distinctive blend of design expertise and educational insight sets her apart in the industry. Jenkins is a first-time quilter, and it is the style of the Gee’s Bend quilters, distinguished by abstraction, often created from scraps of everyday clothing due to scarcity, that has inspired her to participate in this competition. Jacqueline Kennedy’s visit to Thomasville in search of a private retreat after the assassination of John F. Kennedy peaked Jenkins’ interest about uncovering the story of her visit, and became the obvious choice for her narrative quilt subject. Learning about the history of Thomasville, Georgia has been equally rewarding.
