About John MacPhail – Art East Quilting Co.
Based on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, John MacPhail is a quilter, pattern designer, and lifelong maker. Raised in a family where creativity was deeply encouraged, John was inspired from an early age to craft and build. His passion for textiles took shape while earning his Bachelor of Arts in Costuming, where he developed a specialty in historical costuming, modern pattern drafting, and unconventional sewing techniques. John’s entry into quilting happened almost by accident while searching for a project to fill his downtime—but it quickly grew into a full-fledged career focus. John frequently collaborates with industry-leading brands, including FreeSpirit Fabrics, Riley Blake Designs and Acorn Makers. His work has been featured in major quilting publications like Canadian Quilter, Love Patchwork & Quilting, and Make Modern, and he has appeared on popular podcasts including Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, The Inappropriate Quilters, and Karen’s Quilt Circle (Just Get It Done Quilts).
