Handmade Quilts

Tactile, lovingly made works of art to wrap around yourself and your loved ones.

Each piece is unique and made by hand in my home studio in Bristol, UK .

Handcrafted in Bristol

I am a quilt maker with a love of all things beautiful, tactile, soft and practical. I love that a quilt is a piece of art you can wrap yourself in, lie on, hang on the wall, snuggle under, or even build a fort with. All of my pieces are meticulously made by hand, first by sewing the patchwork together on a sewing machine, and then through hundreds and hundreds of tiny hand-stitches sandwiching the quilt top and back around a wool, cotton or bamboo wadding.

I only use natural fibres - mostly linen and cotton - and I incorporate recycled or repurposed textiles where I can. I am always honoured when I am trusted to create something new from well loved shirts, baby clothes or tablecloths, creating a new way to hold and treasure family memories

My quilts are created to last and with a bit of love and care they should last for generations.

Kindness Quilts are a huge part of what I do. Learn more here.
