The Practical Quilter
The Practical Quilter is a new concept shopping experience for the New Zealand Quilter with the sole focus of offering the supplies and accessories needed to make amazing quilts, bags or other textile items.
Looking for quilt patterns with a modern twist? Zen Chic, designed by Brigitte Heitland, brings together clean lines, clever geometry, and a touch of European flair to create quilts that feel fresh, stylish, and timeless.
At The Practical Quilter, we’re chuffed to stock a range of Zen Chic patterns — from bold graphic designs to softer, playful layouts. Whether you’re keen to try something minimalist or you’re after a project that lets your favourite fabrics shine, Zen Chic offers plenty of inspiration.
What makes Zen Chic special:
These patterns are perfect for Kiwi quilters who love a challenge but also appreciate clear, well‑written instructions. Whether you’re making a quilt for the bach, a gift for whānau, or just want to try something new, Zen Chic patterns will keep your creativity humming.
So grab your rulers, templates, and notions (no fabric here, you’ll need to raid your stash or local quilt shop for that) and let Zen Chic guide you into your next project.
