Where adventurous quilters discover what they're capable of

"Ships in harbours are safe, but that's not what ships were built for. "-John Stedd

Ships & Violins is where quilters bravely step outside of their comfort zone to find unique and modern quilt designs, and discover what they're capable of creating.

Sure, S&V patterns may seem a little outside your usual choices, but we encourage you to listen to that adventurous voice whispering, "You got this!" and let us take it from there.

The Creator Behind S&V

Cristina De Miranda is an award-winning quilter, lecturer and educator based in Toronto, Canada. She began quilting in 2018 and, finding her passion in the craft, quickly founded Ships & Violins in 2019.

She hopes her work and resources encourage others to try something outside their comfort zone with confidence.
