Collection: LAURA HEINE COLLECTION

Laura Heine is a nationally acclaimed quilt designer known for her vibrant collage quilt patterns, fussy-cut florals, and whimsical, art-like designs. Her technique blends traditional quilting with layered fabric collage.

At Donna’s Quilting Respite, we proudly carry a wide variety of Laura Heine patterns, kits, fabrics, and supplies, and Donna herself is a certified Laura Heine instructor available for private lessons.

Laura Heine quilts are built by layering hundreds of small fabric motifs—florals, textures, shapes—onto a foundation to create a bold, colorful collage. The finished quilt looks like a piece of textile art, perfect for wall hangings, gifts, and show pieces.

Yes. We stock one of the area’s best selections of Laura Heine collage patterns, including popular designs, minis, and seasonal favorites. We also offer curated kits with hand-selected fabrics, so you can start your collage quilt with confidence.

Most Laura Heine quilts require:

• A mix of bold floral and motif fabrics (available at Donna’s Quilting Respite)
• Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 fusible web
• Pattern Ease foundation material
• High-quality scissors for fussy-cutting
• An applique pressing sheet

You can find all of these in-store or online at Donna’s Quilting Respite.

Yes. Collage quilting is surprisingly forgiving, and our beginner-friendly kits make it even easier. For extra guidance, you can book a private lesson with Donna, a certified Laura Heine instructor, and work one-on-one through your first project.

Absolutely. Donna is a certified Laura Heine instructor and offers private lessons tailored to your skill level and project. Whether you’re brand new to collage or working on a more advanced pattern, Donna can walk you through:

• Fabric selection
• Fussy-cutting and layout
• Building your collage
• Finishing and quilting options

Contact Donna’s Quilting Respite to schedule your private lesson and reserve a spot.

It depends on the size and complexity of the pattern. Mini designs might take a couple of days, while larger pieces can take several weeks. The most time-consuming part is fussy-cutting all those beautiful motifs. Private lessons with Donna can help you work more efficiently and avoid common mistakes.

We recommend Lite Steam-A-Seam 2, which is widely preferred for collage quilting because it allows you to reposition pieces until you’re ready to press permanently. It’s available by the yard or in convenient packages at Donna’s Quilting Respite.

Yes! Many quilters love using their existing stash. If you’re unsure what will work best, Donna can help you edit and enhance your fabric pull during a private consultation or lesson, or you can bring your stash in and let us help you fill in the gaps with fabrics from the shop.

Yes. In addition to private lessons, we host group classes and workshops focused on Laura Heine collage techniques. These events are a great way to learn, get inspired, and work alongside other quilters. Check our class calendar or call the shop for upcoming dates—and ask about private one-on-one sessions with Donna if you prefer individualized attention.

We do. Our shelves are filled with florals, text prints, brights, pastels, and motif-rich fabrics that work beautifully for collage quilts. Donna and the team can help you pull a custom bundle for any Laura Heine pattern, either in-store or during a private lesson.

Laura Heine designs range from small minis to larger wall hangings. Each pattern lists the finished size and supply requirements. Donna can recommend the best starting pattern for your skill level and available time.

Most quilters:

• Layer the collage with batting and backing
• Use free-motion or dense quilting to secure all layers
• Bind or frame the finished piece

Laura Heine quilts look stunning as wall art. During a private lesson, Donna can show you finishing options and help you plan quilting designs.
