Learn More about Kate

Kate Quinn's fascination with quilting began when she received a Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt as a wedding present. The gift of a second scrappy quilt further solidified her love of fabrics and colors. Her first quilt was made to celebrate the birth of her first child around 1993. She has loved quilting ever since.

She loves all styles and types of quilts from art to modern, from traditional pieced to applique. She also loves how quilting is a connection through the ages and across generations.

As a stay at home mom with five children for 18 years quilting became Kate's social connection. It was the one thing that “mom” did for herself. With her family having served in the Army for over 28 years and moving so many times, quilting has always helped Kate connect in a new community and to build relationships.
