About Me

The Designer

I am a new designer, living in the stunning Scottish Borders.  I have a love of colour and beautiful things. Having discovered the pure joy of quilting relatively recently, creating beautiful quilted designs has rapidly become my passion and this, coupled with a huge enthusiasm for vibrant, quirky fabric and creating my own designs (incorporating some traditional quilt blocks), has led to the creation of a host of all things quilted, some of which you will see here on my website.  Initially my creations were all made as gifts for family and friends and so often they would say "This is a family heirloom!  They'll have it for ever."  So, after much enthusiastic encouragement, Quillted Heirlooms was born.  I hope you will enjoy looking at my pieces as much as I have enjoyed creating them.  


I will continue to add my latest creations to the website as they are completed, so do check back in to see what I have been up to recently.  Please also take a look at my Blog for new and ongoing projects.  Happy browsing!

Why Me?

All my creations are bespoke, unique designs.  I use high quality 100% cotton quilting fabric in both bright, modern colours and more traditional prints.  I often, where possible and as requested, incorporate a special fabric printed photograph and label to personalise the gift for the receiver. Occasionally, I also embellish the quilt top with hand embroidery, picking out particular fabric design features in Pearl Cotton threads. This is both thoroughly enjoyable and effective, although far more time consuming and so usually reserved for baby quilts.
