About Me

Hi there! I’m Jody Groenendyk – Welcome to Gingerberry Quilts!

By day, I’m a biochemist diving into the wonders of science, but by night, I’m all about unleashing my creativity as a passionate quilter. At Gingerberry Quilts, I specialize in modern, sustainable quilt patterns that celebrate bold design and fresh ideas. Whether I’m designing a new pattern or working on longarm quilting projects, every stitch is made with love.

My science background sneaks into my quilting too! I love experimenting with fabrics, colors, and techniques, crafting each quilt like a carefully planned “protocol.” The result? Unique, modern designs that are creative, edgy, and a little outside the box – just the way I like it!
