Washing

• Best method: Gentle machine wash on cold, using a mild detergent.

• Load size: Wash your quilt separately to avoid excess stress on the fabric.

• Cycle: Delicate cycle is best.

• Avoid: Bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh detergents, which can break down fibers.

Drying

• Preferred: Line dry whenever possible.

• Alternative: Tumble dry on low heat. Adding a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls can help keep the batting evenly distributed.

• Tip: Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.

Everyday Care

• Quilts are meant to be used — on beds, couches, or wrapped around shoulders.

• Rotate your quilt occasionally so wear distributes evenly.

• If storing, fold loosely in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase. Avoid plastic bins, which can trap moisture.

Repair & Longevity

Over time, a well-loved quilt may show signs of use. Hand-stitched repairs can add to its story and character. If your quilt ever needs repair, contact me — I’m always happy to advise on care or mending.

A Note from Katie

Every quilt I make is designed to be a companion in your home, not something too precious to use. The more you love it, the more it becomes a part of your life’s stories.
