About Us
Our Mission
Kiki’s Quilty Pleasures is dedicated to innovating and honoring the tradition of quilting through sustainable design and ethical production standards.
Handmade with love, especially for you.
Committed to innovation and sustainability, Kiki’s Quilty Pleasures develops original quilt patterns and heritage garments and housewares. Working exclusively with reclaimed and organic materials, we aim to transform heirloom quilts through modern design by implementing zero waste techniques and small batch production methods. Giving new life to old textiles, preservation and sustainability are at the core of our mission in designing original, heritage garments and housewares. Handmade with love in Chicago, each garment and houseware is meant to be loved and passed down, like the original quilts themselves.
Kiki’s Quilty Pleasures is a contemporary quilting studio creating one of a kind quilts, garments and objects for the home.
