Ian, also known as the Off Kilter Crafter Ian, has been sewing since childhood, inspired by watching his mom at the machine. He discovered quilting in college with the help of his aunt, who guided him through making his first quilt after the one she had sewn for him years earlier finally wore out. Since then, quilting has become a lifelong passion. Ian creates quilts of all kinds, often leaning toward modern designs with bold colors and bright aesthetics. His work has been recognized with 14 ribbons in quilt shows, reflecting both his creativity and skill. Beyond the sewing room, Ian shares his love of quilting through his YouTube channel, where he teaches and inspires quilters around the world, and through The Sew Off Kilter Podcast, where he and fellow quilters explore the humor, challenges, and joys of the craft. He also collaborates with brands and teaches at events, encouraging makers of all levels to find their own creative voice through quilting.
