Jessica Schunke began sewing and quilting in 2009 after being inspired by months of reading sewing blogs. A former president and secretary of the St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild, she is the owner/designer of Blue Sky Modern Craft, founded in 2021, and an editor by trade who’s bridged the gap between her work and craft, writing and tech editing a growing number of her own and other designers’ patterns. Her current clients include Suzy Williams and Denyse Schmidt, among others. In 2020, she co-founded Modern Service Quilts, an organization devoted to getting more modern honor quilts into the hands of veterans and service members. Jessica lives in St. Louis but is a Texan at heart.
