About Me

Hi, I’m Shannon — quilt pattern designer, educator, and firm believer that creativity grows through practice.

What started as a creative outlet during a difficult season of life became a passion for quilting, colour play, and helping others discover their own creative voice.

Today, I design modern quilt patterns, teach quilters around the world, and share tools and encouragement to help makers build confidence in their creative practice.

What I do

Learn

Build confidence with online quilting courses that help you learn new techniques while creating beautiful projects..

Inspire

Through Studio Notes, blog posts, and workshops, I share ideas to help you nurture a creative practice you love.

My Philosophy

Creativity isn’t about talent.

It’s about curiosity.

It’s about being willing to experiment, make mistakes, and trust yourself enough to keep going.
