Beautiful Quilts

October 6, 2020 by Alice Caroline

Last week, one of our amazing customers, Bridget Thorn brought in these beautiful quilts for our Quilt SOS project. Bridget has been a wonderful supporter of our Quilt SOS project so I thought it would be great to find out about her quilting and sewing history. How did you start out sewing and how long have you been a quilter for? “My mother always made our clothes and as I was the youngest of three girls, she usually ran out of time to finish mine. So, if I wanted something new, it was better that I learnt …

There are 48 different Liberty fabrics in the quilt, each giving another beautiful pattern and colour. I asked Kathy about her time making …

Beautiful Quilt SOS Quilt

We’ve received the first beautiful Quilt SOS Quilt into the studio for our 2020 project. It’s a completely stunning quilt which has so much detail within it. It’s a quilt that is full of fun and interest and therefore perfect for a child. It has been made by Kathryn Ross and was inspired by her daughters bedroom floor and by Arbury Hall.
