About Modern Groove Quilts

How I turned into a modern quilt designer

There’s something magical about images giving us feelings of love and safety…For me it’s the obnoxious floral couches, the Tupperware, and Corelle flower print plates that lived in my grandparents home.. Those memories stitched themselves into my creative DNA, long before I knew much much I would cherish them.

I’ve always been a maker. From learning to crochet in the early days of YouTube to dyeing yarn in my kitchen, knitting lots of clothes for my sons, fiber art has always been my love language. But when it also has a practical function?! Sign me up!

In 2020, when the world slowed down, I dusted off my sewing machine and dove right in. ADHD will do that to ya. I was always equally fascinated and angered by sewing machines. I routinely got halfway into a garment and threw my hands up. This was different. I was making for others. It felt like something I HAD to do.

What started with making masks for my community turned into a passion for designing quilts. That led to writing them out and offering them digitally as PDF quilt patterns. I realized that patterns aren’t just instructions; they’re a way of passing on joy, imagination, and hopefully saving you a few cuss words.

Modern Groove Quilts is where retro charm meets modern design. Every pattern is designed to honor tradition while inspiring fresh creativity. Whether it’s quilting, needlepoint, punch needle, or any countless other fiber art you may see along the way, I’m glad you’re here.

If you love a good floral, a touch of nostalgia, and that satisfying meditation of making something with your hands, you’re in the right place.
