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.
My applique quilts, including my Hawaiian quilts, will be on display at Quilters Haven from the 28 to the 31st of May, 2015. Luckily, my Millennium Quilt can be included as it will be returning from the Quilters Guild in York soon.....after its trip to Sitges, Spain.....
The exhibition went well, and I include some photos taken at Quilters Haven....
