Last night my husband sat opposite me as I was sewing and when I paused he innocently asked “how does your sewing machine actually work?” He’s technically minded so my vague answer about loops and bobbins didn’t quash his curiosity, and so we went (of course) to YouTube and disappeared down a rabbit hole of videos showing the mechanisms at work beneath the “hood” of my beloved Janome. I won’t go into detail – and I’m sure most of you are much better versed than I am on the magic of a sewing machine – but it’s an elegant combination of the needle, bobbin, presser foot and feed dogs. I now approach my machine with much more reverence and it's with an extra layer of pride that I happily state…

How did you first get into quilting? I spent a lot of my childhood sewing with my big sister Jane, especially soft toys. When I was ten years old Jane showed me how to sew hexagons together (what we would now call EPP). Much later when I started living with my husband, I remembered how much I had enjoyed stitching those hexagons and so I bought some templates and fabric and started making my first quilt. Looking back now I can recognise this as a strong nesting instinct! 30 years ago, when we moved from London to Scotland, I joined a local quilt group, the Abbey Quilters. They taught me what to do once I’d finished my quilt top and introduced me to rotary cutters and cutting mats. This was…

As the name suggests, monochromatic colour schemes are comprised of all the colours within one single hue, and are extended using its tones, tints and shades. Using monochromatic colour can add an interesting edge and elegance to any quilt. There are a number of ways to use monochrome palettes in your quilting. One example is using the aforementioned use of tones, tints and shades to create an ombré. Another instance is to simply use one shade of colour and pair it with a neutral like white to create a dramatic effect. Both of these applications have been used for centuries and continue to be used by modern makers today. The history of quilting is rich with monochromatic projects. In 2011 the American Folk Art Museum transformed New York City’s Armory…

There are so many reasons why people start quilting – whether it’s to continue an old family tradition or take up a new hobby. But there’s one big reason why people keep quilting, and no, it’s not just because quilts are snuggly and gorgeous (although that doesn’t hurt!). We keep quilting because it brings people together. Quilting is the ultimate community-builder, because it brings people together from before the sewing begins, until long after it has ended. We all know that making new friends can be hard, especially later in life, but quilting is one of the great friendship matchmakers Making connections Quilters love to talk about quilting. If I meet someone at a party who quilts, we can go all night talking about our favourite patterns, techniques and quirky…
