Patterns are the backbone of every great quilting project, and at Hen & Chicks Studio, we take pride in curating designers whose instructions are reliable, easy to follow, and enjoyable to sew. Whether you’re a brand-new quilter or someone who loves a good challenge, the right pattern can make all the difference in your sewing experience.
Today’s Tour de Chicks video shines a spotlight on several pattern designers we trust and love:
Atkinson Designs offers timeless, friendly, approachable quilt patterns perfect for both beginners and seasoned makers. Terry Atkinson’s clear writing style and clever construction tricks make her patterns some of the easiest to follow.
Cluck Cluck Sew brings bright, modern, fast-to-finish patterns that work beautifully with precuts like fat quarters, charm packs, layer cakes, and scrappy stashes. Their designs are fresh, fun, and incredibly versatile.
Perkins Dry Goods specializes in traditional quilt patterns with beautifully balanced layouts and thoughtful details. These are great for quilters who appreciate precision, clean design, and projects that stand the test of time.
And of course, we can’t forget GE Designs—one of our most popular designers here at the shop. Gudrun Erla’s patterns are known for their streamlined construction, bold layouts, and the famous Stripology rulers that help quilters cut faster and sew more accurately. Her patterns are excellent for anyone who loves efficient piecing, striking designs, and patterns that truly make your fabrics shine.
You can find patterns from all these designers—plus books, beginner projects, table runner patterns, scrap-friendly ideas, and more—right here on our website:

One thing that sets our shop apart is the level of care we put into choosing what we carry. Because of my background editing patterns for American Patchwork & Quilting, I don’t select patterns lightly. If it’s on our shelves (or online), it has been thoughtfully reviewed with the success of our customers in mind. We want you to feel creative, confident, and excited every time you sit down at your sewing machine.
Whether you're looking for your next big quilt, a quick weekend project, or a pattern to help use up your scraps, you’ll find inspiring options across these designers and so many more here at Hen & Chicks Studio.
