I am a quilter living in Woodbridge, Suffolk who has made quilts since I was a teenager. I also ring bells! Both are great British traditions....I will try to feature some of my antique Welsh and Durham quilts, the quilts I make myself, my quilting activities and also some of my bellringing achievements. Plus as many photos as I can manage. NB: Double click on the photos to see greater detail, then use back button to return to the main page.

    Thanks for those! The central pattern is lovely and unusual - at least, I don't recall seeing something quite like it. The ever increasing spirals, the web-like swags between, the curved border leaves (are these variations on the standard beech leaf?*) and the little cable twists give the design a lot of movement. *Mary Jenkins shows how to mark those curved leaves in her Welsh Quilts book.

    There is a also a picture of a quilt with a similar center in Mary Jenkins book. I have seen the leaves in the boarder on several quilts in different book and it was called "Bent Leaf". Maybe there are different names for it!

    I am so impressed by the graduated spirals. They begin on the same side of the spiral and end in exactly the same place within the spiral. Amazing.
