About the Sisters Behind Quirky Quilt Art

About Us

Why We Started Quirky Quilt Art

🌟We started as sisters with paintbrushes and fabric scraps —

now we want to share what we each love most — quilting and painting — and share it with others. Quirky Quilt Art is a space where creativity meets comfort. A place that welcomes beginners, inspires seasoned makers, and adds just enough quirk to keep things interesting. It’s about more than just making — it’s about making with heart.

And at the heart of it all, it’s friendship, creativity, and a shared belief that art should make people smile

Meet the Sisters!

Elaine & Marlene — sisters, artists, and partners in colourful mischief.

We’re Elaine and Marlene—creative co-conspirators and the heart behind Quirky Quilt Art.

Together we’re stitching up a space where quilting feels fresh, fearless, and a little bit magical..

We design bold, fun-filled quilt patterns that break the rules (in the best way), teach with heart, and inspire creativity at every skill level.

✂️ Marlene brings the fun and the friendly guidance.

🎨 Elaine brings the colour and the big-picture artistry.

Because quilting should never be boring. And it should always feel like you.

💖 Our Mission

We believe that quilting and art are powerful tools — for healing, connection, and legacy.

Through every pattern, tutorial, and hand-painted piece, our goal is to bring more joy, more colour, and more meaning to your creative journey.

Whether you’re stitching your very first quilt or gifting something handmade to a loved one, we want you to feel proud, peaceful, and inspired by what you’ve created with your own two hands.

So pull up a chair, grab your fabric and paintbrush (or just a cozy cup of tea), and join us as we stitch a little love — and a whole lot of personality — into everything we do.
