ABOUT ME

I am a work from home mom. I started designing quilts for my mother. She needed a bunny quilt for a particular granddaughter and could not find any she liked. I designed the first pixel style image quilt with my mother in 2006. This was inspired by my love of counted cross stitch, which creates an image using squares and triangles. As time went by I created other designs for the next grandchildren. I changed the process some with each grandchild. Soon I was creating images faster than she was needed them, and in 2011 I started Counted Quilts.  

Now I design them for you! I love to get ideas from friends, family, and now customers. "It is so fun to hear that is just what I wanted."

When my daughter was young she once asked me when I was making my next "quilt that counts". I told her my business was called Counted Quilts, but I think she had it right.

As my kids get older I am attending more quilt shows. I have started teaching classes and workshops. If you think these patterns are something your guild or quilting group might enjoy please contact me lisa@countedquilts.com

My goal is to help Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, and Friends make a quilt for those who matter most to them.

And let’s not forget all you wonderful volunteers who donate you time and talents to make special quilts for those you don't even know.
