Floral Frocks Quilt inspired by summer dresses, flower gardens and herbaceous
borders and a Suits and Ties Quilt reusing sober woollen suiting contrasting with
extravagant silk ties designed in an Irish Chain.

hand-quilting and sandwiching to binding, storage and caring for your
quilt. Armed with the design tools, you can embark on your quilting journey and
