Elizabeth Hartman

If you haven't come across Elizabeth Hartman yet, you're missing out. She’s a self-taught designer from Portland who makes these brilliant, modern animal quilts that look way more complicated than they actually are. The secret is she refuses to use annoying templates or paper piecing, it’s all just normal, straightforward patchwork. Because she learned by making every mistake herself, her patterns are incredibly clear and actually enjoyable to put together, not a headache.
