Handmade Patchwork Quilt - ...
Patchwork Quilts with Diane£120.00 £75.00 (38% off)
I began handcrafting from a very early age; my mother and grandmother taught me how to sew, embroider, knit and crochet but sewing is my passion and I've always favoured making blankets...they provide a hug just when you need one most, and in my opinion a handmade patchwork quilt gives the best hug of all!
My last profession was as a teacher but my working life was varied and I have been a seamstress on a number of occasions - work I remember fondly. Now I am in the enviable position of working for myself [although some people might call it retirement] and I have the luxury of creating with freedom.
My small business is based in Tamworth, Staffordshire in the heart of England, where I sew quilts on a domestic machine in a small but efficient workspace. The quilts I create are bespoke but utilitarian: they are made to be used and loved and all that entails. The designs I favour create little waste and any remnants I have I use in other projects; scrappy quilts or as cushion fillers. I sell my quilts to fund the fabric for my next creation - so I price them very well.
I am happy to encourage beginner quilters and share my creative process with anyone who is interested, and so I have recently started a YouTube channel: Patchwork Quilts with Diane where you can see my work in progress. It provides an opportunity to see what I offer in detail. Hope you enjoy.

I bought this beautiful quilt after receiving another quilt made by Diane as a birthday gift from my Mum.
Diane's work is absolutely exquisite and will be treasured.
Diane is very helpful and sent a lovely letter and card with care instructions, I found this incredibly helpful as i'm new to owning patchwork quilts.
The quilt was also beautifully packaged and sent very quickly.
Can't recommend this shop and creator enough.
Thank you!

The quality of the work, and the materials, is superb and this lovely piece of textile art will be used and treasured. The quilt was carefully and nicely packed, with a little art card and a note from Diane. Altogether perfect. Thank you.
Beautiful quilt, gorgeous prints and wonderfully made, I am absolutely thrilled with this stunning quilt.
