Hand-drawn Surface Patterns Inspired by Nature and Folk Art

designed by someone who understands how fabric is actually used

I am Joan Lucchese

I don't just design patterns—I understand how they're used.

With 15+ years designing quilting patterns, I know what makes a pattern work for makers and manufacturers alike.

Shop my collections on Spoonflower, or inquire about licensing for your brand.

Why work with a designer who quilts?

My quilting experience informs every surface pattern I create:

  • Scale and repeat that work for multiple applications

  • Colorways tested with makers in mind

  • Understanding of fabric types and end uses

  • Patterns designed for both beauty and functionality

PORTFOLIO

Surface Pattern Designs

Pattern Licensing For Brands & Manufacturers

Work with a designer who understands textiles from 15+ years of hands-on experience.

Every pattern I create is informed by real use. I've designed patterns that have been sewn into quilts, used for wallpaper, printed on home decor, and applied to gift items. I know what works—and what doesn't.
