About Due Pinoli

Hi, I'm Mary Catherine, the creative person behind Due Pinoli. My family and I live in Colorado and I am constantly inspired by its beauty. I discovered the power of quilting to refill my cup after becoming a mother and it continues to restore and empower me. My favorite thing about quilting is connecting with other quilters and I love sharing joy through quilting. You can find my Midnight on the 707 quilt pattern in the Art Gallery Fabrics Eerie look book and I have a mini quilt hanging at Quilt Con 2025!

Behind the Name

“Due Pinoli” translates to “two pine nuts” in Italian. It's a name that connects and honors several generations of family: my two little pine nuts who will hopefully grow into mighty trees and my roots --my mother, Italian grandmother, and aunts who have baked many, many holiday fruitcakes filled with delicious pinoli. I'm so grateful to have my family's support and Due Pinoli wouldn't exist without them!
