We are thrilled to announce that Taylor Krz, the creative force behind Toad & Sew, will be joining us as our featured guest speaker this Thursday, September 17th!
Based out of Seattle, Taylor is an illustrator, graphic designer, and modern quilt pattern designer celebrated for her bold compositions and mastery of color theory. Her work seamlessly bridges the gap between fine art and functional craft, empowering quilters of all skill levels to think outside the traditional box and treat their quilts as true works of art.
Taylor will share her quilts, stories, design process, and behind-the-scenes details of her Toad & Sew quilt pattern library. Get an up close look at the variety of quilt patterns she’s created, with insights into color choices, construction details, and more. It’s the perfect mix of eye candy and creative fuel, whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just her for the quilt inspiration.
Toad & Sew is inspired by her rescue pup, Toad, who’s been part of the journey since day one
