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.

Traditional Quilts 2 - Festival of Quilts 2013

More photos from the Festival of Quilts - hope that I have got all the details correct. Any changes to be made - please comment and I will correct!


Liz Nally's Sanderson Star quilt - pattern taken from Barbara Chainey's book, but scaled down so that it smaller - half size?


Detail of Liz's quilt - lighting a bit funny, was more contrast in the fabrics than this shows...

    Hi Pippa, thanks for showing my quilt! The lighting wasn't good for yellows! I used the templates from Barbara's book at the size that most of them were printed at which I think was 2/3rds and the quilt came out at 50" square, the original was 82"X87".
    Visiting the Quilt Museum tomorrow!Best wishes, Liz
