Daisy Aschehoug

Daisy Aschehoug is an American currently living in Nesodden, Norway. Her mother was a home education teacher, and she taught hundreds of children to sew before she taught her. She says that it is her own fault as she had no patience as a child and even less when she was a teenager. Around 2010, she wanted to make a baby quilt for a friend. With a mix of lessons from her mom and help from the internet, she honed her craft and began exploring her own designs in the quilts she made.

Daisy has been designing quilts for magazines since 2016. Most of her quilt designs incorporate some element of curved piecing into a modern traditional design aesthetic, and many of her quilt designs have won awards. In 2020, Daisy published her first book with co-author Heather Black: Quilt Modern Curves and Bold Stripes. Daisy is a member of Norsk Quilteforbundet, the Modern Quilt Guild, and the Studio Art Quilt Associates. Daisy moved to Norway with her family in 2017, and she maintains a quilt studio just south of Oslo on Nesodden. Visit her interesting website at www.warmfolk.com/en-us
