Welcome! I’m Kitty Wilkin, Night Quilter.

I’m a stay at home mom of three littles, wife, sewist of quilts and other beautiful things, runner, gardener, yogi, and all in all lover of life. With three little kids, my only sewing time is after bedtime. Thus the night quilter was born. This blog is all about my stitching: both quilting and occasional knitting projects, as well as the creation of my own patterns, teaching gigs, and photography.
