Ep 022: Cozy Quilts for the Modern Home: A Conversation with Abby Luchsinger of Abby Maed
SPOTIFY | APPLE | YOUTUBE
In this episode of the Patchwork Revival Podcast, I’m sitting down with Abby Luchsinger of Abby Maed to talk about her new book, Cozy Quilts for the Modern Home, and the journey she has taken through the world of quilting.
Abby shares how she found her creative voice after attending a quilt showing WIsconsin where she saw modern quilts, traditional quilts, and imagined creating something somewhere in between. Since then, Abby has been making quilt designs using a voice that comes straight from her heart to make cozy quilts meant to be used, lived with, and loved. We talk about warmth, texture, and intention, and why “cozy” is just as much about feeling as it is about fabric choices and color palettes.
We also dig into the creative business side of quilting.
Abby opens up about the process of writing her very first book, Cozy Quilts for the Modern Home, growing a recognizable brand, and making decisions that support long-term sustainability over short-term hustle. This conversation is grounded, honest, and totally relevant for quilters who are thinking beyond patterns and projects.
