Maywood Studio Coastal Getaway Batiks Quilt Kit by Monique Jacobs

Monique Jacobs' love of quilting was nurtured by relatives who taught her the art of handwork and sewing. She parlayed her degree in mathematics into a genuine understanding of the need for an accurate 1/4" seam, squared blocks and precise cutting. Her traditional designs are inspired by fabrics, textiles and tapestries. Several trips to Europe have resulted in not only new beautiful quilt pattern designs, but also one of her BOM books, Circle of Friends, inspired by Ireland. She was a regular teacher at her local quilt shop for 15 years until her budding quilt design business Open Gate steered her career toward a national audience. These days you can find Monique teaching across the United States at quilt guilds and weekend retreats. Monique’s classes always fill up fast with fans from previous classes and students eager to learn from this talented designer.

Known for timeless floral cottons, Shadow Play blenders and the famously soft Woolies Flannel, Maywood Studio has been the quilter's fabric source since 1995. From prints with a modern spin to vintage reproductions and everything in between, each collection is crafted with upmost care, attention to detail and a belief in the simple pleasure of sewing with excellent fabrics. For quilting, craft, apparel, and wherever the art of sewing takes you and your projects, Maywood Studio continues in a proud tradition of classic beauty and reliable quality.
