About Naomi
Naomi began her journey with cross-stitch as a young child and has now been sewing for over 25 years.
In 2017, Naomi started to design for several leading UK patchwork and quilting magazines with a primary focus on hand-piecing. At the same time, Naomi also started an Instagram-based sewing group which uses hand-sewing as a weekly prompt and has a global audience and participant base.
Naomi feels passionately about the power of hand-sewing and self-care, as a creative tool in our toolbox, for making sense of the world around us, for being creative, and for connecting with others around us.

Signature Technique
Hand-piecing, colour, and quilt-as-you-go
Top Tips
- Use a purple tip needle when joining your quilt-as-you go pieces – your machine will be much happier!
- Play and have fun! Sewing is there to be enjoyed, not something to be pressured or feel constricted by. If you want to start a new project, listen to what your heart is saying (however corny that sounds!)
- Add all the colour. Remember your freedom with colour and patterns when you were a child and embrace that fun element of adding in the fabrics, designs and colours that you love.
