community. This great group of people
is made up of quilters who create

things that can fit seamlessly into

their modern household.

A lot can be learned from the

countless materials on traditional
quilting; however, they leave much to
Kaitlyn

be desired in terms of modern designs

and aesthetics. Quilting is a traditional
art form with a long, rich history, and

I believe it is the job of the youth to

continue this wonderful tradition while
also updating and modernizing it.

If you’re reading this, that means

you too are looking for contemporary
inspiration to continue this timeless
hobby. Hopefully, Lily Marie will
provide this to you and encourage you
to get creative!

If it does, please feel free to

share your projects and ideas on
