About
Rich danner
Somethings just always “click” like chocolate and peanut butter. The same is true for ManQuilter Rich Danner who comes from Northhampton County, Pennsylvania.
Descendant of a colonial Pennsylvania German family, 1738 to be exact, Rich grew up in the contract garment industry of the Slate Belt. His maternal great grandmother was a master seamstress, and this is from whom Rich credits his eye for detail and passion for all things cloth and needle.
His paternal family were all Pennsylvania farm stock and it was from them that Rich developed a passion for horticulture and gardening. It is from the beauty of the earth that Rich draws his inspiration for color and texture. For years the quilting seed was germinating nurtured by summer vacations to Manitoulin Island, Ontario Province Canada where Winter Quilts were sold to the tourists and the occasional visits to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Then in 2006, the seed sprang to life and Rich began his quilting career in earnest.
Hand quilting and the most minimal of tools grew over the years to blossom into long arm quilting and original pattern development. Rich’s quilts are frequently juried into national competitions and have won awards. His passion and artistic vision for the art of quilting is both unique and quirky–bold, traditional, elegant but never boring!

Experience Counts
We are dedicated to meeting your quilting needs by tailoring our services to you. Quilting, like free motion work, should have no boundaries. The Ripped Quilter prides itself on quilting in the Great “What If?” We can make it work!
- 14 years experience in quilting and quilt making from design, piecing, quilting, and binding. Our experience encompasses the total process of quilt making and not just the actual quilting of the quilt.
- Juried Competitions and award winning quilts. You'll see quilts from the Ripped Quilter hanging in national shows.
- Dedicated to working with every clients budget to get the most bang for the buck. We can scale any project to accomodate a client's, and a quilt's, particular need. For instance, we can do a semi custom set with a pantograph design in the center field of a quilt with custom borders or we can even target specific areas of a quilt that you would like quilted with high density quilting whereas the rest of the quilt may only need low to medium density custom work of even edge to edge quilting.
