Liz's wedding quilt

My friend Liz is getting married, and at her hen weekend in Bath we each made a square for a patchwork wedding quilt for her.  Her maid of honour Anna contacted lots of family all over the world who also made squares.  I then had the job of sewing them all together to create this quilt.  It's full of stories and memories and hopefully is an heirloom itself now!

Lizzie's quilt

I recently spent a weekend at my mum's house where I slept under a quilt I'd completely forgotten having made years ago for my sister Lizzie.  It's a scrap quilt made of lots of snuggly textures - flannel, corduroy, velvet, suede.

Griff's baby quilt

My friend Rhys and his partner Nia recently had a beautiful baby boy called Gruffyd.  I made them this baby quilt using scraps of shirting fabric, and simple quilted lines on every other strip block.

Vasarely quilt

This quilt is based on a Victor Vasarely artwork called 'Tlinko'.  I made it as a present for my mum, who hung it on her wall in her government office! It uses the same basic applique technique that I've used before (see my easy baby quilt and Steve and Ali's rainbow quilt), this time with a few other not-quite-square polygon shapes to add to the optical illusion.

Steve and Ali's rainbow quilt

When I was little, my mum made my sister and I each our own 'rainbow quilt' which she said had magic powers.  The rainbow quilts were always given to friends staying over to stop nightmares away from home or got out when either of us were poorly.  For years Lizzie and I wore our rainbow quilts wrapped round us as dressing gowns on Saturday mornings.

When my wonderful friend Steve got diagnosed with cancer, I made him and his lovely wife Ali this rainbow quilt - I wanted to give them something magic. It was a double bed sized version of my baby quilt design using Strawberry Fayre 1inch samples.

Easy baby quilt

This was a really simple baby quilt I designed using sample 1inch fabric squares from Strawberry Fayre.  They are each machine appliqued onto a 3 inch square of calico, and then sewn together.

Adam and Rebecca's wedding quilt

I made this quilt as a present for my school friend Adam's wedding to the lovely Bex.  It uses the same Kaffe Fassett layout as my first quilt.  This quilt is made with recycled blue and white shirting fabric from Worn and Washed Fabrics.

My first quilt

This was my first ever patchwork quilt - a Kaffe Fassett pattern from his book 'Glorious Patchwork' which I've since used quite a few times (including a blue and white shirting version for a wedding quilt for my friends Adam and Bex).
