For your own individually designed quilt it is best to allow about 5 weeks for making up, once we have agreed on the final design and fabric choice. All new materials are used throughout - unless you would like me to include some of your own fabrics. A typical quilt would be made from easy-care poly-cotton with a low allergy polyester wadding. This would be an ideal summer weight on it's own, but it makes a stunning coverall during the winter. If you are tempted to create a quilt designed just for you, you should look around your home for colours you enjoy living with. Mix this with a theme - contemporary, nostalgic, bold, peaceful. . . Then you are ready to begin! Please contact me by telephone or e-mail so that I can begin imagining a quilt that will work with your personality. We will talk about the colours you adore, influences on design and life style. Then we can build a picture of the best way forwards. From our conversation I will go through my fabric stock and pull out several fabrics that bring your ideas together, then build a sketch around the design. These can be photographed and mailed or e-mailed to you. When the design has been adapted to your taste, and fabrics settled on, the work can begin. A large quilt could take around five weeks to make. I will happily mail them anywhere in the world, insured postage. If you cannot see just what you want, then e-mail me with a suggestion or a picture and I will get back to you with a price.
