I'm Amy Garro, a modern quilter, pattern writer, and author. I'm a wife and momma to three little boys.
Here you'll find loads of inspiration, along with tutorials, patterns, quilt-alongs, and some frank quilty talk. I love cobalt blue, paper piecing, sharp angles, and quilts with a masculine vibe. Oh, and a vodka martini - shaken, not stirred.
