June has always been interested in quilting; however, she considered that it was too time consuming. Her grandmother belonged to a quilting bee, and a playmate’s grandmother was a quilter who used scraps provided by the neighborhood seamstress. She also observed the ladies at her church construct a quilted robe, which consisted of hundreds of appliquéd patches. June finally took on the challenge of quilting when she retired.

As a contemporary quilter, she uses a variety of techniques on the quilts she designs. One of her favorite techniques is foundation piecing using both paper and muslin. Having an affinity with bold and vivid colors, she includes orange in most of her quilts and wearable art.

June is a founding member of the 54-40 African American Quilting Guild. She is featured in Roland L. Freeman’s Book, “A Communication of Spirits, African-American Quilters, Preservers, and Their Stories.” She also exhibited with Freeman’s traveling exhibit, “More Than Just Something to Keep You Warm,” at Hampton University Museum.
