PATCHWORK
It isn't just about cutting fabric and piecing fabric. It is about telling a story from the past or from the present, it is about sharing with others moment of your life as we always remember the time we made a quilt. We will remember the time spent on a specific detail of a piece of fabric that just wouldn't fit together, or not finding the perfect color. Whatever the time spent to make the quilt, we have a story to tell.
QUILTS
The Quilt is the end result of all that cutting, piecing, batting, quilting and binding. Wether we made it by hand or by machine, we chose the pattern, we chose the fabric, we chose the set up, we chose the end result: a bedspread, a sofa conforter, a pillow on a chair, a cover on a book. Whatever the size of the quilt, it will become an heirloom that we will keep as long as we can, to remember the person that made it.

Who is behind the scene?
I am a french designer, created this business in 2006.
I have been passionate about quilts for as long as I remember, I love thinking them, designing them, making them and using them.
I have taught classes, worked for magazines, made a book, had a fabric collection come out. So you can trust me when I say I know my way around quilts.
I also have a Craft Trainer Award certificate, which gives me the skills to create technical but easy to use workbooks.
So give it a try, have a look at this workshop and enjoy all the quilts that will come out of it.
