Love Patchwork & Quilting

DESIGNER PROFILE Steph Forster

We'd love to hear the story behind how you first got into patchwork and quilting!

I actually started quilting when I was 18, after one of my best friends asked if I wanted to make quilts for our freshman year dorm rooms. We spent the summer before we went off to college each making our own quilts for the first time! After that first quilt, I was hooked and bought my own machine shortly after starting college.

How would you describe your signature style?

I would say my style is mid-century modern, mixed with some influences from nature.
