As a self-described “pragmatic quilt-maker,” Kelly Ashton approaches quilt design and construction with a knowledge of and appreciation for the theoretical while searching for and developing skills and short-cuts that are practical. Kelly’s passion for patchwork covers a dichotomy between “microwave quilts” (quilts that are simple in design and quick to piece) to “crock-pot quilts” (quilts that are more intricate and complex in their construction), and she happily moves back and forth betwixt the two.....and everything in-between!

In addition to designing quilts, Kelly especially loves to teach and talk about quilts. Her motto is “Have quilts. Will travel.”

What is National Quilters Circle?

National Quilters Circle has been creating instructional videos designed to engage quilters with their passion since 2010. We want to be your favorite place where you can feed that passion by learning new techniques, getting inspired, and connecting with other quilters who feel the same way as you.
