About
I am a rug and quilt maker based in Beverley, East Yorkshire. I am extremely passionate about traditional British crafts and using only British wool in all its fabulous natural colours in my rugs.
All my rugs are hand made and I use a number of techniques to make them. Some are woven on an old fashioned peg loom, either with carded wool or by my hand spun wool. Others are made by first spinning the wool, then it's knitted and then stitched into either a round or an oval. Both techniques make very hard wearing, thick, beautiful rugs.
I try to use predominantly vintage textiles in my quilts - tablecloths, napkins, bed linen. I also re-purpose textiles - old clothes, wedding dresses etc. All my quilts are unique because of the textiles I use and I tend to stick to simple designs to show off the beautiful fabrics.
