quilts from kellie wulfsohn

kellie wulfsohn’s (from don’t look now) quilt was recently featured on whipup on our machine quilting roundup – and has received an enormous response.

Kellie does wonderful applique work and beautiful quilting all using her home sewing machine. Kellie is also one of the quilters whose work is featured in an upcoming quilting book written by me and published by Chronicle (more on that later).

Kellie’s work has been featured in various quilting magazines and has appeared in quilting shows – I love how detailed and perfect each piece is, the lovely whimsical nature of the quilts, the outrageous unashamedly girlishness of them (there are some boys ones too though), and can you spot that she has a slight tree theme going on? Kellie has some patterns available and some free online tutes so check her out over here.
