Jane Burch Cochran is a fabric artist who is known for her work that combines traditional American quiltmaking with painting and fabric embellishments. She received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship for quiltmaking in 1993. The Smithsonian and the National Quilt Museum display her quilts.[1]

Cochran, who marched in a Freedom March with Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1964, created "Crossing to Freedom," a 7 ft by 10 ft quilt for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center that depicts symbolic images from the anti-slavery era to the Civil Rights Movement.[2]
