My name is Violet Craft - really!

I am the artist behind the prints, patterns and works you see here. I specialize in quilt fabric and patterns and often dabble in a little of everything else.

I created the Abstractions Series of patterns from my own photography. I have met every animal in my work. Really! Even the Unicorn (ahem, horse).

I am a licensed designer of print fabrics and distribute my own line of sewing patterns, but mostly I am a momma, a wife, a friend and a maker.

I was born in the Old West where I pursued my education in business and finance. The start of my career in software development brought me to the Pacific Northwest where I bagged my man, feathered my nest and stitched it all together. Drawn to art, craft and make-ing, the birth of my first child compelled me to ditch my corporate career and seek out my passion.

My initial children's apparel line reached boutiques in 2004. My first fabric collection debuted in Spring 2011 along with the first Violet Craft Distinctive sewing patterns. I teach sewing and design workshops which are often influenced by my awesomely nerdy former career.
