Coach House Designs was created by Barb Cherniwchan in 2009. Barb is an author, magazine contributor, fabric designer and former quilt shop owner. The patterns are designed around fabric collections from a variety of fabric manufacturers, making it easy for stores to purchase and sell fabric inventory. Many patterns are customizable using Coach House Designs’ free web-based app - app.fabswitch.com which allows shops and customers to recolor patterns using existing and future inventory.
