About Erin:

Erin Grogan, the pattern designer and founder of Love Sew Modern, was introduced to sewing by her grandmother, a professional seamstress. When Erin was a child she would fill a notebook with fashion designs with the dream of one day becoming a clothing designer. Her grandmother would come to visit for many weeks in the summer. Erin and her grandmother would go to Hancock Fabrics to get material and together they would sew her school wardrobe for the next year. These precious moments sparked her love for design.

In 2017 Erin took her first trip to a modern quilt shop. Surrounded by all the bright and bold fabrics and modern quilts she knew in that moment she wanted to become a quilter. In January of 2020 Erin left her corporate job to focus on growing her dream, Love Sew Modern.

Erin resides in Northern Virginia with her husband, two children, and her puppy Tula (yes, named after the amazing fabric designer Tula Pink!
