I started sewing as a child (love those doll clothes!) and Icontinued to sew clothing for myself until I discovered quilting. I'vebeen quilting now for over 15 years. A few years ago I started teachingand then I decided to put my ideas into patterns. I now run my own design business called Pat Sloan & Company located in Fairfax County, Virginia. I have found that Ireally enjoy designing patterns and seeing what other quilters do withmy patterns. In addition to publishing my own patterns, I designpatterns for McCall's Quilting, McCall's Quick Quilts, AmericanPatchwork & Quilting, Quilters World, Create &Decorate, and the Fons and Porter magazines.

I have designed several fabriclines with my favorite fabric company,P&B Textiles. Also, I love working with the great people at my book publisher Leisure Arts, with whom I have done more than 15 books.

In addition to all of that, I operate this web store to help you find great designs and useful products.
