Martha Ginn grew up in a home where quilts were used daily.  During the mid-1970s, when American interest in traditional art forms surged, Ginn embraced the trend and took classes to learn the basics of quilting.  As her knowledge and skills expanded, Ginn began designing her own patterns and incorporating her interpretations into quilting projects. Ginn enjoys quilting because   “[it] allows me to enjoy all aspects of sewing—designing, creating, playing with colors and fabrics, and using the sewing skills.”

Martha Ginn在一个日常都在使用拼布的家庭中长大。20世纪70年代中期，美国人对于传统艺术形式的兴趣高涨，Ginn也赶上这一潮流，参加了一个拼布基础知识课程进行学习。随着知识的积累和技巧的提高，Ginn开始设计自创图样，并将自己的艺术观点融入拼布作品。Ginn女士很喜欢拼布是因为“拼布让我能享受缝纫的一切，设计、创作、与色彩和布料周旋、发挥缝纫技能。”
