The wait is over—my newest quilt pattern, Folkwell, is here to inspire your next quilting adventure! Folkwell is all about blending the old with the new. It draws inspiration from the classic Ohio Star block but adds a modern twist to create a fresh, bold vibe. The word “folk” represents traditions and creativity rooted in community, and this pattern feels like a tribute to that heritage—while giving you the freedom to make it uniquely yours.
If you’re a confident beginner looking to expand your skills, Folkwell is the perfect choice. With templates, unique piecing techniques, and a Fat Quarter-friendly design, this pattern invites you to explore new methods while creating something you’ll love. The pattern includes complete throw-size instructions, with additional sizes—baby and bed—offered in the Folkwell Extras file.
Behind the scenes, this pattern came to life with the help of a wonderful team of collaborators. Olivia Alaniz provided expert tech editing, ensuring that every detail was clear and easy to follow. The stunning quilting was brought to life by Trace Creek Quilting and Hen House Quilting, whose beautiful work made this pattern shine. And, of course, my amazing testers—Tara Fanning, Sarah B, Chanda Clark, and Olivia Alaniz—were invaluable in bringing this quilt to life. Their creativity and feedback helped refine Folkwell into the design it is today.
To make this journey even more exciting, I’ve partnered with some incredible shops to offer quilt kits tailored specifically for Folkwell. Let’s dive into all the options!
