I'm Kate Colleran, a designer who creates quilt patterns, fabric and surface designs to brighten up your home and your mood! I want to welcome you to my world of color and quilts.
I create quilt patterns that are fun, a mix of modern and traditional and geared for the beginner to intermediate quilter.
I am drawn to bright colors, simple shapes and just want to create quilt patterns and surface designs that will bring a smile to your face!
Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, started in 2003 as a collaboration between myself and Elizabeth Balderrama. I did the quilt pattern designs and Elizabeth did consultations, pattern testing and was the shipping maven.
We had such a great time; designing quilts for patterns, for quilt magazines, for fabric companies and for our book, Smash Your Precut Stash, with C&T Publishing.
In 2015 Elizabeth retired. In 2021, I changed the name of the quilt pattern line to match the official name of the business, Kate Colleran Designs, LLC.
From day one, our goal was to help you make a quilt. And to have fun! To me quilting is more than just making a quilt,
it is about being creative, about learning, about enjoying the process and being part of a community.
Whether you are a beginner quilter, an intermediate or advanced quilter, I want to help you.
My patterns will work with traditional, modern, brights… you get to choose the look of your quilt.
