Elizabeth Hartman MODA Fabrics

Elizabeth Hartman is a quilter, pattern designer, and fan of colour from Portland, Oregon. In 2026, Elizabeth joined Moda Fabrics as a designer.

Patterns by Elizabeth Hartman include detailed, step-by-step directions to help you make something beautiful … and fun!

After teaching herself to quilt in 1999, she was hooked and has been making quilts ever since. 

For Elizabeth, quiltmaking is the perfect combination of creativity and technical challenge, all in the service of making a useful object.

In 2014, Elizabeth founded her company, Patterns by Elizabeth Hartman, through which she has published more than 80 pictorial quilt patterns, mostly with plant and animal motifs. Elizabeth’s goal is to create fabric and patterns that celebrate colour, fit into a modern home, and make you smile
