Edyta Sitar

Edyta's lifelong relationship with fabric began in Poland at a very young age, when she cut her mother's drapes to design her first project. Fortunately, for all of us, Edyta's mother recognized her passion for fabric that would later unfold into a consummate gift.

In observing the beauty of things around her, experiencing the thrills and challenges of being a woman, and reflecting profoundly on the human condition, Edyta expresses her existence through quilts. "My children and my husband are my greatest motivation," she says. "This is a Cinderella dream for me. Being able to do what I love and share this love with others is the greatest feeling and reward I could ever imagine!"

Edyta's intuitive feel for fabric, keen eye for color, and family teachings all contribute to her amazing quilts and natural evolution to pattern and fabric designing. Now working as owner and co-founder of Laundry Basket Quilts, Edyta has created over 600 quilt patterns, published 18 books, designed beautiful fabrics with Moda and Andover, threads with Aurifil, stencils, templates, and ready-to-applique, fusible, laser-cut fabric shapes, ideal for quilting and handwork.
