Hi, I'm Kate!

I’m a chemical engineer and quilt designer based in Minnesota, where I live with my family and our three dogs. My background in engineering inspires the way I design — with a love of structure, balance, and creative problem-solving. My also use my technical eye and abilities when I tech edit to ensure that your patterns can be the best they can be.

Quilting lets me blend precision with artistry, creating designs that feel both modern and timeless. When I’m not sewing, you’ll usually find me running, enjoying good food, or relaxing outside with my family.
