The Patternly Collective mission
To be the platform that quilters and independent designers deserve by making the artform of sewing more accessible, sustainable and fun—for everyone.
How it started
Five passionate quilt designers walk into a bar… and come out inspired! Olivia (The Quilty VA), Taylor (Toad & Sew), Ashelyn (Urban Dwell Studio), Brooke (Eudaimonia Studio), and Christina (Kindred Quilt Co) —each with their unique style of modern quilting—noticed a common challenge: there wasn’t a central, curated marketplace where makers could easily discover quality digital quilt patterns. And as independent designers, they were exhausted by the never-ending administrivia of running their respective small businesses.
That spark of inspiration led to the creation of Patternly: a platform designed to delight sewists with high-quality patterns, and harness the collective power of independent designers to lift each other up and thrive together.
Patternly isn’t just about patterns; it’s about community, creativity, and elevating the art of quilting.
How it's going
Given that each founding designer had their own successful business to run, Brooke teamed up with Kellie to keep the idea alive and make the plan into reality. Being a quilter herself, Kellie saw a real opportunity to bring her business operations brain to the mission of Patternly and help bring this vision to life.
And the end of the day, Brooke & Kellie want to create a platform where designers can focus more on what they love, and where makers can easily find inspiration—with confidence.
