Penny Spool Quilts

Monika is a modern quilt pattern designer and teacher based near Ottawa, Canada, and the founder of Quilt The North, a Canadian quilt subscription box.

Under the label Penny Spool Quilts she designs both FPP and traditionally pieced patterns that appeal to new and seasoned quilters alike and she designs her bold, fuss-free patterns to inspire quilting confidence, one piece at a time.

Originally from Switzerland, Monika now lives in rural Ontario with her family and a small menagerie of animals. When she’s not designing, quilting, or teaching, she can usually be found puttering around her garden or tucked in a comfy chair with a good book and a cup of tea.
