About Us

Jennifer PattersonQuilted in Clay is a small family business that grew from my lifetime interest in the world of art. Over many years, I had explored a number of mediums, but in 1991 as a stay-at-home mom I began sewing soft sculpture dolls and painted woodcrafts and selling them at local craft shows.

Two years later, I discovered polymer clay and was so enthralled with it that I became a member of the National Polymer Clay Guild immediately. I started out sculpting character figures, gnomes, and fairies then learned a new technique called millifiori to make canes in patterns so I could make clothes for my "little people". By adding the use of a clay gun I could also put together designs for their clothing, and use the remnants to make jewelry.

As it turned out, my designs resembled quilt blocks, and customers began asking for specific jewelry designs such as the Ohio Star, Log Cabin, and more. It was a challenge replicating quilt block designs, but I also watched the business escalate as a result of my efforts. In 1996, I decided to expand from craft shows to quilt shows, and the rest is history! Oftentimes, we are literally selling our creations "hot out of the oven".

My "baby" is now 15 years old, and both she and my husband help run the business as we keep getting busier and busier. Today, I specialize in jewelry based on traditional, recognizable quilt blocks, and after all these years, I’m never at a loss for patterns, projects, methods, color combinations or inspiration when working with polymer clay.
