I'm Laura! I'm a quilter, pattern designer, and homeschooling mom of three boys. I'm also an ex-math teacher - and with a last name like Piland - there's a strong love of pi in our house! I'd love for you to take a look around and leave a comment so I can get to know you! Let's sew something together!

Have you ever spotted a quilt in the illustration of a children's book? Bedtime stories in our house often include, "Mom, look! A quilt!" One day, I began to wonder if those quilts could be created in real life and transform story time into something more. I began stitching past the boys' bedtime bringing our favorite stories to life. 

Storybook Quilts was born from those moments. It's part quilting book, part love letter to children's literature, and wholly inspired by the magical intersection of real and make believe. The book has patterns for 14 quilts from beloved picture books including: 

?Bear Can't Sleep by Karma Wilson
?All By Myself by Mercer Mayer
