QUILTS QUILTS QUILTS

I've created a new site to showcase my new design direction: QUILTS! I'm going Quilting Mad! Which ties me into how I got into quilting in the first place. I've been working with the Lovely Lindsey Foster of www.quiltingmadness.com She is one amazing quilter! And a fabulous teacher! Her shop in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire is so inspirational. Her fabric stock is mindblowing and between classes and her own passion for quilting its hard not to be just as passionate in kind. I'm in the process of designing some pattern packages for the shop and making quilts as she's so busy with custom orders.

 I'm gonna pop some images up of some of the pattern ideas I've had so far, (both collaborations with Lindsey and on my own) and images of some of the quilts I've made in attempts to step away from my knit and latex artworks and make things more easily accessible. I'm going to link some inspirational images I've drawn from to really get a feel for the market and some current trends that I've employed in my design direction. I also intend to include a few free online tutorials on steps for starting quilting in the process.

I hope anyone just taking their first tentative steps into quilting/patchwork/sewing in general can read this, learn (from the tutorials) some tips from my slip ups, and maybe post some of their attempts in response? I'd love to speak to other quilters and share tips/ tricks and quilting vices back and forth! :D
