Meet the Designers

A self-taught quilter who has been quilting for over 20 years, Joanne enjoys learning about design through quilt-making.  Her designs are a little bit modern, a little bit traditional and big on colour.  She aims to make her patterns appealing and accessible to quilters of all skill levels.  She firmly believes that quilting should be a joyful endeavor.

Since 2013 she has published over 70 patterns, enjoying the quilt math so you don’t have to.  She has had designs published in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, has patterns in quilting catalogs, collaborates with various fabric companies and enjoys speaking and teaching about quilting.

A proud Canadian, she currently resides in Iowa after following her astronomer husband's job there.  Happily, quilting is portable so she can follow her dreams while he explores the stars.
