Hello, my name is Doug Leko. I am 17 years old and I LOVE to design and make quilts. My mom got me started in quilting about 11 years ago.

For the past couple years I have been creating my own line of quilt patterns – I design under the name Antler Quilt Design.

I’m excited to share with you my first Moda Bake Shop Recipe!
