Hi, my name is Jennie! I set up Cheekyhandmades back in 2010. I really wanted to use all my creative skills, skills I’d had for many years but never had time to use any more, and skills I realised I could and wanted to pass on. I also wanted to work for myself, I wanted to be able to work around my children. And I am doing all of that now, and am loving it. I get to be surrounded by fabulous people, great fabrics, my kids, now also my granddaughter Vivienne, and cats, and listen to music all day.

I make beautiful bespoke heirloom-quality quilts, which are totally unique, and tailored to your own specifications. I can add names and dates, favourite colours and fabrics, match your decor, or even applique on that little something to make it extra special! Each quilt is designed after consultation with the client. I can make any size requested, including play mat, single or double bed, right up to a king size. For children I normally make cotbed-sized quilts. These are 45 x 60"/ 115x150cm, which makes it an ideal size for bedtime, travel, camping or on the sofa. These are big enough to cover your child completely until they are about aged five and soft enough to use from when they are a baby.

My quilts are lovingly handcrafted from pure soft cotton/ linen, and appliqued and patchworked with beautiful designer fabrics. Each is backed with lovely fabrics too so they are fully reversible, and both sides can be on show. All quilts are gently laundered upon completion. They are machine stitched for strength and double bound (a specialist quilting term, trust me, it makes the edge virtually indestructible) and will be a wonderful heirloom for many years to come.

In addition to teaching classes in Walthamstow East London I also teach online and have courses you can download and watch in your own time, and watch as many times as you'd like.
