Finished Quilts

Known for their singular design and fine traditional craftsmanship, Denyse's quilts have changed the way we think about the craft. Work one-on-one with Denyse to commission your made-to-order modern heirloom with a design from the Quilt gallery.

Celebration Quilts offer a unique opportunity to gather friends and family to participate in the making of your improvisational quilt, which we finish for you with care.

About Denyse
