Small Town Girl to Designer
Follow Dawn on her journey into the quilting business. Learn about how she got into publishing and fabric design. Sit back and enjoy the trunk show of 45 quilts.
Dawn Heese is an author, pattern designer, and Marcus fabric designer. She is a fourth-generation quilter and grew up stitching from a young age.
Her career in the quilting industry was launched with the publication of her first book, Geese in the Rose Garden, published by Kansas City Star in 2009.
The following year she started Linen Closet Designs, named for her grandmother's linen closet full of vintage quilts. Here she produces patterns for quilt, punch-needle, cross stitch and hooked projects, as well as fabric designs.
Dawn’s work is regularly featured in magazines in the US as well as abroad. She teaches and presents trunk shows and workshops nationally and in France, sharing her love of appliqué and quilting.
In May of 2023 she released her ninth book. This book is her third published by the French publisher, Quiltmania and is co-authored with Bonnie Sullivan. Dawn and Bonnie are co-creators of Made by Hand, a yearly membership dedicated to all things made by hand.
