Hello!
I’m Laura, the artist and designer behind Quilt Fort Co. I’ve been quilting for over 25 years. Since making my first quilt my style has grown with my eagerness for experimentation with technique, color, texture, and shapes. Many of my quilts feature a mix of solid, print, and woven fabrics in a full color spectrum. My work falls in a postmodern design space with maximalist qualities. I enjoy making one-of-a-kind show quilts and also writing patterns. I love speaking and instructing as much as I love making. I’m honored to have been published many times and won awards from shows I admire. See my portfolio and resume.
I have studied and practiced both interior design and photography. Now, most of my time is spent at home raising my two young boys outside Boulder, Colorado. Our family loves venturing to the mountains and exploring all that Colorado has to offer. When I have time, besides quilting and sewing and quilt photography, I like to bike and run.
Quilt Fort Company was built to offer patterns, art, classes, and lectures to everyone. I am growing and changing every day and I am excited to keep you in the loop. The easiest place to find my most current work is Instagram.
