Christopher Thompson

The Tattooed Quilter

Christopher, known as The Tattooed Quilter, is a New York City-based creative whose love of quilting began before he could walk. Raised beneath the quilt frames of three generations of award-winning quilters, he grew up surrounded by creativity, color, and traditional design.

Today, his work draws inspiration from modern design and the energy of city life. His quilts and fabric collections reflect a love of clean lines and bold simplicity. Christopher enjoys playing with print scale, often pairing larger designs with solids or subtle basics like Blossom—his best-selling designer print.

When he’s not quilting or crafting dollhouse miniatures, Christopher is out exploring the city with his husband, Jack, and their two French bulldogs. He finds inspiration in great food and conversation, a good cocktail, and the magic of a Broadway show.
