Kate Colleran is a quilt pattern designer as well as a fabric and surface designer and a notion designer! She loves color and fun designs, and that is evident in all of her work! Her quilts are a mix of modern and traditional, with bright colors and simple shapes.

Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, started in 2003 as a collaboration between Kate Colleran and Elizabeth Balderrama. Kate did the quilt pattern designs and Elizabeth did consultations, pattern testing and was the shipping maven. They designed quilts for patterns, for quilt magazines, for fabric companies and for their book, Smash Your Precut Stash, with C&T Publishing.

When Elizabeth retired in 2015, Kate changed the name of the quilt pattern line to match the official name of the business, Kate Colleran Designs, LLC.

Kate has also designed several specialty templates... which we talk about in this interview.
