Quilting 101 (Ages 12-Adult)

Hi! I’m Katie, the owner of Modern Textiles, based in Alexandria, Minnesota. Quilting has been a creative constant in my life, and what started as a love for fabric and design has grown into a space where I get to help others bring their quilts to life—one stitch at a time.

I specialize in professional longarm quilting, with a modern approach that highlights the heart of each quilt while adding texture and movement. I love working on all kinds of projects, from clean and minimal to playful and a little quirky. I’m endlessly inspired by the stories and creativity behind every quilt top that arrives in my studio.

When I’m not at the longarm, I’m designing modern quilt patterns and pantographs that blend bold graphics, clean lines, and a touch of mischief. My goal is to create designs that feel approachable, satisfying, and exciting to sew.

I believe quilting should feel fun, creative, and meaningful! Hope to see you in person!
