Sewn Modern Quilt Patterns

  Hi there! I’m Katie of Modern Textiles, a second-generation quilter (or maybe more?). Sadly, my grandma passed before I was wise enough to ask about her own quilting journey and whether she was self-taught or if it was a craft passed down from her mother.

  Why do you quilt? Who do you quilt for? Have you ever stopped to think about it?  I have always loved to make things. I love to work with my hands and see something come to life! I learned to quilt in high school and made all four of my best friends quilts when we graduated so we would have something to link us together while we were away at our separate colleges.  Last spring I found out my best friend, Emilie was going to have twin boys. Making us both twin boy moms. They were bookends - mine...
