Kate Colleran Designs: A Dream Come True

Centennial has a history unlike any other city in Colorado. It was only just incorporated in 2001, making Centennial (unlike what its name reflects) an infant city. It boasts over 100,000 residents, making it Colorado's tenth largest city. Centennial is home to the Streets at South Glenn, which offers a variety of shops, boutiques, and restaurants.

Two well-known pattern companies—Quilting Renditions and Kate Colleran Designs, formerly Seams Like a Dream—call Centennial home. 

Seams Like a Dream, now Kate Colleran Designs, is Kate Colleran’s pattern company—a dream of hers a long time in the making. Colleran made her first quilt as a teenager for a cousin’s baby. She continued to make quilts over the years in between the demands of college, career, marriage, and kids.

In 2003, Colleran opened Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs, a quilt pattern company, in collaboration with Elizabeth Balderrama. Colleran designed the patterns while working fulltime as a nurse and caring for her family. Balderrama did the consultations, pattern testing, and shipping.

In 2021, Colleran and her husband moved from Connecticut to Colorado. She decided to spend more time on her quilt business. Colleran designs quilts for fabric companies, including Northcott, and for several magazines.

When Balderrama retired in 2015, Colleran changed her company’s name to Kate Colleran Designs, LLC. Colleran has been teaching and designing quilts for over 18 years. She is the designer of the popular Braid and Mini Braid templates. She started designing fabric for Island Batiks in 2022.

In addition, Colleran has taught at quilt shops, for quilt guilds, at national quilt shows, and online on Craftsy and Quilting Daily. Her dream has finally come to full fruition but is long from over.
