Pleasant Valley Quilting offers contemporary bag and quilt patterns. Our patterns are fun, up-to-date, and fashionable. The bag patterns feature “quilted or not” options that allow the maker to customize her bag, her way! 

“Quilted or Not” patterns include instructions for making the bag three ways: Using flat fabric and fusible products; using purchased pre-quilted fabric; or quilting the fabric herself using frame quilting system or domestic machine. Owners of frame quilting systems are eager to find projects smaller than a bed quilt! Whether perfecting new machine quilting skills or showing off accomplished quilting, our patterns are quick and successful projects! Some of the patterns even include how to piece and assemble sections of the bag on a frame quilting system. Of course we always include complete instructions for making the project on a domestic machine, with no machine quilting required!

Pleasant Valley Quilting patterns are in booklet format and include clear illustrations and instructions. We also have “Finishing Kits” that include all of the buckles, clips, rings, etc. necessary to complete the pattern. 

Pleasant Valley Quilting has published two books "Bread and Butter Quilting - Fast and Easy Custom Looks for Quilts" and "Crisscross Dancing Feathers". These books show a quilter fast and easy freehand designs for quilts. The books are written for the short - mid - or longarm quilter.

Pleasant Valley Quilting first opened its doors in 1997 in Granby, Connecticut, it then moved to Enfield, Connecticut before moving to its current location in 2001.
