The maker behind the patterns

About Four Robbins
Modern patterns for makers who want projects with real personality.
Geometric shapes. Bold graphic designs. The occasional shark. Clean lines that are more satisfying to sew than they look, and patterns written clearly enough that you can actually follow them.
I have been designing and writing quilt patterns since 2004. Four Robbins is where those patterns live.
The Story
I come from a long line of makers. My great-grandmother channeled her art into knitting, sewing, and mosaics. My mother paints — her work covers my walls. My sister makes everything with her hands. I landed on quilting in 2004 and was hooked with my very first project.
Most of my early quilts were my own designs, which led naturally to writing patterns so I could recreate them — and eventually share them with other quilters. The best part of designing has always been seeing what other makers do with a pattern.

A Little More About Me
In 2021 I went back to school at 54 and completed a demanding radiologic technology program. I now work as a PRN Rad Tech alongside designing patterns. Whatever brings you here — a pattern you spotted, a quilt you want to make, or just curiosity — I hope you find something worth making.
I also run Handcrafted Adventure with my husband Tom.
