Behind the Scenes with Modern Quilt Studio

1 of 16

Conscious Creativity

Many people may stare at the cereal box during breakfast, but few turn the encounter into a contemporary quilt. “We are always in search of inspiration from the time and place in which we live,” Bill explains. “I don’t think we’ll ever be trapped in a particular style,” Bill says from their Oak Park, Illinois, home and FunQuilts studio just outside Chicago. There, they thrive as quilt artists, fabric designers, inspirational coaches, authors, lecturers, and charitable givers.
