"The most important things in our homes (besides family) are usually those that are handed down, have special meaning, or have been made for us. I have just started designing and making bespoke quilts that combine all of these thoughts, and hopefully make the home a haven....."

"Hand pieced from a mixture of vintage silks and cottons, the quilts are then quilted by traditional quilters and are then hand-bound in silk.

The quilts are based in my love for keeping traditional crafts alive, but keeping them relevant for modern lives.

I hope you like them.
(note no drawings used - just my eyes and my hands!) "
