What’s a quilt?
A quilt is a type of blanket, made up of three separate layers - the top fabric layer (usually pieced together from smaller bits of fabric to make a design); the middle batting (the fluffy part that gives warmth and weight); and the back fabric layer. All three layers are quilted - bringing the layers together to make one object. Once the edges are finished, the quilt is complete.
What’s different about your quilts?
All my quilts are constructed of vintage and discarded new fabrics. Every effort is made to use 100% cotton batting free of any plastics. My quilts are pieced by machine and quilted by hand, unless otherwise noted. All bindings are attached and finished by hand. All my quilts are made to be enjoyed on a wall or a bed for years to come.
