Little Traverse Bay Quilters Guild
June 2025 - Katie Nolan from Count Your Stitches Designs
We know we are all about quilting, but most of us have tried lots of other crafts/arts as well. Have you tried, or maybe thought of trying, counted Cross Stitch? Now is your opportunity to either take it up again or try it for the first time.
Katie Nolan has her own company, Count Your Stitches Designs, as well as an Etsy shop. She designs counted cross stitch patterns that resemble quilt blocks – incorporating her love for quilting into her counted cross stitch pieces. Katie was the featured artist for American Patchwork and Quilting for 2024 & has worked collaboratively with Sheri McConnell, a Moda designer, to design cross stitch patterns that look like Sheri’s quilt patterns. Katie’s patterns were also featured in Primitive Gatherings monthly boxes for two years.
She will be doing a trunk show for us on Thursday, June 12 and teaching a class on Friday, June 13, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Charlevoix Library.
