Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists!

Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
