Peinte is derived from the french word "painted." I believe that everyone has the ability to be the kind of person they want to be, as long as a person believes in it. Everyone has the ability to "paint" themselves into the best versions of themselves.

I don’t always remember to add a label to every quilt, but I always wish I had.

When I do, this is the process I use.

I fuse a piece of fabric from the quilt onto printable fabric paper, run it through my printer so the label prints directly onto the fabric, peel away the backing, and sew it into the binding corner.

I love that the label becomes part of the quilt itself because it’s made from the same collection.

It’s one of those little finishing details that makes a handmade quilt feel complete.

Do you add labels to your quilts?

One corner at a time…

This is the binding routine I’ve settled into over the years.

I sew my binding onto the front of the quilt first because I like to hand stitch the binding down on the back for a clean, nearly invisible finish.

There are lots of wonderful ways to bind a quilt—this is simply the rhythm that works for me.

How do you finish your bindings?

🤍 Save this for the next quilt that reaches the finish line.

My mom opened her sewing room and said,

“Take whatever you’d like.”

So I spent the afternoon going through a fabric collection she’d built over nearly thirty years.

Some of these prints are from companies I’d never even heard of—and I’ve worked in the quilting industry for years.

Now they get another chance to become something beautiful.

What’s the oldest fabric in your stash?

Every quilt starts with an idea.

For Stardust, it wasn’t a block.

It was a star.

From there, everything else became a question of movement—how the points could stretch across the quilt, how your eye would travel through it, and how the whole design could feel like it was glowing.

Sometimes a quilt begins with fabric.

Sometimes it begins with a feeling.

✨ Stardust is now available.

I’ve been thinking about this while photographing quilts in Montana.

We spend so much time waiting for beautiful places, beautiful seasons, or the right moment.

But maybe beauty isn’t the destination.

Maybe it’s something we choose to bring with us.

A quilt won’t change the weather or the landscape.

It just changes the way we experience it.

A quilt has never been just another thing to decorate a home.

It’s an invitation.

To stay outside until the sun disappears.
To linger around the fire.
To keep talking.
To watch the storm roll through.
To make a memory instead of rushing to the next thing.

Maybe that’s what quilts have always been for.

Don’t just make a quilt.

Make a life that needs one.

One with slow mornings on the porch.
Bonfires that last longer than planned.
Picnics that turn into sunsets.
A quilt that’s always close by because someone might want to stay outside just a little longer.

That’s the kind of life I hope to design for.

A quilt gives you a reason to stay outside. 🌿

I’ve started noticing that quilts do more than keep us warm.

They make us linger.

One more cup of coffee.
One more chapter.
One more conversation around the fire.
One more sunset.

Maybe that’s my favorite thing about them.

Not that they’re beautiful…
but that they quietly create space for moments that might have ended too soon.

The more I design, the less I believe that creativity is about inventing something completely new.

Most of the time, it’s noticing a different arrangement.

Quilting has been teaching that lesson for generations.

Thousands of blocks.

The same simple shapes.

Endless possibilities.

Maybe creativity isn’t about adding more.

Maybe it’s about seeing differently.

07/11/2026

Maybe quilts were never meant to live in closets.

I think they were meant to come with us.

To wrap around shoulders after the sun goes down.

To be spread across the grass for an afternoon picnic.

To become the blanket everyone reaches for around a campfire.

To collect stories instead of dust.

The best quilts aren’t the perfect ones.

They’re the ones that become part of everyday life.
