Apples & Beavers

Quilt patterns for dreamers and adventurers.

About me

Hi there!

I’m Astrid, the creative mind behind Apples & Beavers. I originally come from a small town near Munich and grew up with no exposure to quilts or quilting. It wasn’t until I moved to Canada in 2014 that I first caught a glimpse of the quiltiverse and have ever since enjoyed discovering new styles and techniques. I am completely self-taught and while I am fascinated by the long tradition of quilting, my true passion is to play with modern and playful designs. I live near Ottawa with my husband and our three little monsters who are the main inspiration for my mostly kids-themed quilt patterns.

While I occasionally like to challenge myself with fairly intricate projects, I do my best to keep my patterns to a very manageable level of difficulty. They may contain a few smaller pieces, but should be doable in a limited amount of time such as a weekend project. In order to avoid as much frustration as possible, I provide detailed step-by-step instructions with numerous full-colour diagrams and plenty of tips and tricks along the way. Additional inspiration can be found in my free pattern add-ons and there are multiple tutorials to help you succeed with your own hand-made treasures.

I love to connect with other quilters through my blog and my Instagram account. Seeing other people’s interpretation of my designs is such a rewarding experience!

Let’s sew together and inspire each other!

– Astrid
