Hey there!

I’m Jen, a quilt pattern designer and shop owner based in Issaquah, Washington. I design quilt and pillow patterns and tutorials to inspire creativity and bring joy to your home. My patterns are perfect for those looking to start quilting, explore new projects, and create functional, beautiful items for everyday use.

From simple home décor projects to more intricate quilts, I provide easy-to-follow tutorials and curated fabric bundles to help you make something you’ll love. Whether you’re new to sewing or looking to expand your skills, my goal is to make the process fun and rewarding.

In 2022, I launched my online fabric and pattern shop, where I offer everything from quilt patterns to sewing kits. It’s been an exciting journey, and I’m passionate about supporting makers of all levels on their creative paths.

A portion of each purchase helps support families and charities that provide comfort quilts to kids and adults in need.

When we share what we make, we’re also sharing love, care, and warmth.

Shop & Support Handmade

I’ve had a shop on Etsy since 2011, but shopping directly from my website helps support my small business in a bigger way. Thank you for choosing handmade and supporting my creative journey!
