VQD in Action...
Buy patterns on Etsy
We have a shop on Etsy where we sell digital quilt patterns and some of our handmade quilts. The patterns are electronic PDF downloads, so there's no printing/shipping and we can reduce the price.
Hire Kay to teach at your shop or guild (single or multi-session)
*Kay is a certified Sue Pelland Instructor*
We especially like teaching new quilters.
Visit our "Classes We Teach" page to see the most common classes we teach.
Join our Facebook Group
We have a VQD group on Facebook for sharing photos of recent quilts, tips for success, and general encouragement. To join, search for the group and request access. Anyone can post and we love seeing what other quilters are up to!

Overview of Our Design Types
Log Cabin Quilts
We love sewing and using log cabin quilts, so we've designed several. They can be used as wall hangings or lap quilts. Some of our designs are holiday-themed as well, like this picture above.
Bed Quilts
Bed quilt designs was where VQD started. Kay was making unique quilts for her house and friends convinced her to turn them into patterns. Our designs are queen and twin sizes.
Lap Quilts
These designs vary widely and are great for decorating. They can be sofa quilts or wall quilts. These designs are where we try out new ideas.
Small Projects
We designed these small projects for fast completion, but still using traditional blocks and quilting techniques. They are table runners, table toppers, or wall banners.
Beginner Quilts
We have several "Weekender" quilt designs for beginner quilters or people who want to finish a quilt top in a weekend. They're easy and fun to use with new fabrics.
