About C&T Publishing
Founded in 1983, C&T Publishing is a craft book publisher with a list of books and products across a range of handmade art subjects including quilting, sewing, embroidery, cosplay, watercolor, paper crafting, and more. We are inspired by our innovative authors who help us create beautiful books that ignite the imagination.
As soon as you pick up a C&T Publishing product, we want you to know it comes from us. Whether it’s a book, a puzzle, a planner, or a gift, our team is committed to high-quality production, design innovation, and an editorial approach that helps our authors realize their best work. By collaborating with authors at every stage of the publishing process - from editorial and design to sales and marketing, our goal is to provide them with a platform for success.
In 2020, C&T launched Creative Spark Online Learning - a place for the crafting community to expand and elevate their love of crafts with online courses. At Creative Spark, there are courses available for every skill level.
Our staff is made up of avid quilters, sewists, embroiderers, and crafters who love being part of the crafting community, whether that means participating in local quilt guilds or sharing their industry insight on our YouTube channel. Our crafty Publisher, Amy Barrett-Daffin, is on the Quilts Inc. Advisory Board, the PubWest Board of Directors, and the Social Justice Sewing Academy Board.
C&T Publishing strives to be a socially and environmentally responsible company. We are taking a critical look at our products, our company, our business partners, and our messaging to positively affect change in our communities and our industry.
