Carolyn is an accomplished quilt maker, teacher and author of several books and patterns. Carolyn has been sewing quilts for over 20 years and just loves using up scraps.

Julia loves making miniature quilts on a variety of themes - - especially small, pictorial quilts with little villages and sea sides. Her quilts have been inspired by travel in the UK & the Mediterranean.
Helen creates patchwork designs and write patterns so you can make your own unique, lovely things. She loves using three dimensional allusions in her work, and is an avid follower of the Modern Quilt Movement.
Susan has been teaching embroidery for many years and loves to share her enthusiasm for a wide range of techniques.
In loving memory of Kate Percival, one of our delightful quilting friends and contributors, who passed away. Kate Percival’s hand stitching techniques have been an inspiration for many quilters. Her workshops and quilts live on as a legacy to her craftsmanship, and expertise.
