Casey York has sewn for most of her life and has been making quilts for a decade. Initially inspired by the graphic possibilities of appliqué, she has worked in the quilting industry to push the boundaries of this tradition with her graphic, contemporary designs and patterns.

​

Casey received her Ph.D. in art history in 2012 from NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts. She is well-known in the quilting industry for her two books, Modern Appliqué Illusions (2014) and The Appliqué Book (2016), and her appliqué quilt patterns, which are available as stand-alone products and in leading quilting and sewing magazines. Her first line of fabric, Fine|Spun, Volume One, was released by Studio 37 Fabrics (a division of Marcus Textiles) in the summer of 2017. Based in St. Louis, Casey lectures and teaches quilting workshops nationally.
