May Meeting with Erin Grogan-Retro Curved Pieced Quilts

Please note this meeting is on the 3rd Monday, not 4th Monday, due to Memorial Day.

Retro Curved Pieced Quilts

Come roll back into the 1960s/1970s with me as I share my story and inspiration behind the 15 patterns inside my new book, Retro Curved Pieced Quilts. This collection of quilts has marked a monumental pivot in my career as a quilt pattern designer. I’m excited to share the stories behind how each design came to be and the laugh worthy moments behind the process.

Erin Grogan, the pattern designer and founder of Love Sew Modern, was introduced to sewing by her grandmother, a professional seamstress. When Erin was a child she would fill a notebook with fashion designs with the dream of one day becoming a clothing designer. Her grandmother would come to visit for many weeks in the summer. Erin and her grandmother would go to Hancock Fabrics to get material and together they would sew her school wardrobe for the next year. These precious moments sparked her love for design.

In 2017 Erin took her first trip to a modern quilt shop. Surrounded by all the bright and bold fabrics and modern quilts she knew in that moment she wanted to become a quilter. In January of 2020 Erin left her corporate job to focus on growing her dream, Love Sew Modern. Now four years later Erin has over 14 published patterns, published her first book (Retro Curved Pieced Quilts), and is an international quilting educator who embraces spreading the love of quilting.

Erin resides in Northern Virginia with her husband, two children, and her puppy Tula (yes, named after the amazing fabric designer Tula Pink!)
