*Quilts on Location* #greatbritishquilter This is one of our favourite cosy quilts #plusquilt (wool wadding 👌) in my favourite place on the walk down through the grassy dunes from #bamburghcastle ready to go into action as a picnic quilt on the blowy beach. My favourite ‘quilts on location’ are where quilts get tangled up in normal life, out in the garden as a den, in the barn, in fields for picnics and in big cosy piles of kids and dogs on the sofa as the fire crackles. Loving seeing all the great pictures for this prompt, thanks to @sarahashfordstudio and @charmaboutyou #plusquilt #dahliaquilt
*Favourite British Quilt Fabric Designers* #greatbritishquilter I love this prompt, it’s so important that we support and champion the talent in our little isles because I feel that quilts should have roots ❤️ When I make a quilt I want it to be connected to where it came from, in time and place, and using/including fabric connected to the Uk (by more than just global commerce supply chains)🇬🇧 is a great way to anchor our makes for future quilt historians. This is my #modernberthamitchellquilt which I made at the start of the year to demonstrate just this concept. It’s based on an 1899 quilt in #thequiltersguildcollection made in Keswick by Bertha, a boarding school house-mistress seamstress. I made my version using just fabric designed by artists from the UK. It was such a fun creative project, looking for modern fabrics that matched the colour aesthetic of the original but were connected to here and now. It wasn’t hard! We have so much British talent. I used fabric by @imagingermonkey @janeteclare @libertyquilting @_lucyengels @aneelahoey @lewisandirenefabrics @karenlewistextiles @lusummers @selkiepatterns . I gave this to #thequiltersguild to use as a free pattern. If you email them I’m sure you can still get a copy. Check out the hashtag to see the back story and other versions coming together all over the world 🌍 Thanks @sarahashfordstudio and @charmaboutyou for these great prompts. #berthamitchellquilt #modernberthamitchellquilt #britishberthamitchellquilt #imintheguild #qgbi #debmcguirequilts #qgbiregion7
*Texture* #greatbritishquilter This prompt pretty much encapsulates what it is about a quilt that I love. Above all the loves for fabric and form, for pattern and design, for technique and variety... what I love most about making a quilt is texture, whether that be hand quilting or machine, that perfect waffle of texture created on a well washed and worn quilt is my favourite thing about our kind of making as it speaks straight to the heart of the comfort and cocooning nature of the patchwork quilt. ❤️ #bringmeflowersquilt #modernbaltimoreapplique #debmcguirequilts #imintheguild #qgbiregion7 #handquilting #machinequilting #patchworkquilt @sarahashfordstudio @charmaboutyou
