Utility Textiles, Knits & Quilts

I couldn't say it better than William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Every item is handmade, primarily using reclaimed or left-over textiles and ‘hand me down’ fabrics rather new bought, and often incorporate discarded clothes.  A range of techniques are employed, but in principle my work is influenced by traditional patchwork and quilting, given a contemporary twist. 

‘Memory quilts’ are a specialism featuring fabrics which have a nostalgic significance; You provide the clothes or fabrics for a totally unique quilt.  This can be extended to cushions or other items for your home and garden space.

Knitted / felted slippers are made from 100% UK-grown wool and make a particularly good present for babies or to keep young children's feet cosy and warm.  Also available in all sizes for adults!

For 'Memory quilts' and knitted bootie commissions, please contact me directly to discuss your specific needs.
