Meet Lori Jonker:

Designer of our 2025 NoCo Shop Hop Quilt-

Stars over Colorado

When she was young, Lori was taught by her mother to sew. She started making doll clothes using scraps and worked her way up to making her first dress when she was 8. She was hooked. By college, Lori was making her own wardrobe and was determined to sew her first quilt after graduation. Which she did!

Lori’s love of math and art led to her fascination with quilt design. The interplay of shapes and colors, traditional quilt blocks and modern fabrics inspire her designs. She is drawn to mixing the old with new, incorporating traditional and modern elements and techniques into a unified quilt.  

Over the years, Lori has lost count of the many quilts she’s designed and sewn, from the quilts created for family and friends to those made “just for fun”. She’s begun writing patterns in recent years in order to share her ideas with fellow quilters. Please visit pineconehillquilting.com to take a peek at her many designs.
