Hi, I’m Kate! I design hand-dyed coastal bohemian patterns for wallpaper, home goods, and fabric. Life’s too short for ordinary, and as a cancer survivor, I embrace creating bold, beautiful designs as a way of survival.

As someone who understands the challenges of running a small business, I create designs that help your projects catch attention and keep customers coming back for more. With a mix of rich textures, timeless style, bohemian and coastal charm, my patterns bring artful living to your walls, home, and products—making your creative vision a reality.

Testimonials

“I had the immense pleasure of taking a Shibori Dyeing class with Kate. She is highly knowledgeable, eager to share her passion and skills, patient, and extraordinarily sweet. I waited for 2 years to take a class with her, and it was well worth the wait. It was my favorite day of the summer! She made me feel confident, while at the same time, giving me license to experiment with the techniques. I was overjoyed with the pieces that I created during the class and will be putting them together to create a Shibori quilt. Thank you so much Kate, you are a true artist and expert in the techniques of Shibori. Anyone who has the opportunity to take a class from you will be blessed!”

“Hi everyone! Kate is one of my best friends from high school and an amazing talented woman. I asked her to make me a custom quilt for my mother’s leather topped hope chest which my cats were bound to destroy. She took so much time and care in creating custom shibori designs and colors for me that I was blown away with her dedication to get the right colors. We then went back and forth on so many patterns, that I just let the master do her work!! I might be slightly biased as I know how great of a person Kate is, however, my new piece is phenomenal!!! It’s exactly what I wanted, custom fit and sewn with such skill that I couldn’t have asked for more! Kate, myself and my gatos love our hope chest cover so much. Thank you for spending the time and care to make it #simplyperfect!!”

“Kathryn was so nice to work with on this project. She was gentle and caring about my situation after my father passed away, and she made me feel very comfortable. Kathryn worked with me to create a beautiful quilt. I am very grateful for finding her and I would recommend to anyone”
