Lots of fun at the fairs

By lisawato / June 8, 2015 / Comments Off on Lots of fun at the fairs

For the last couple of weekends I have traversed the country showing off my quilts(&cushions). Wish I could include all of my pics, but just too many, so here are my edited highlights;

Did I tell you I undertake quilt commissions?

By lisawato / May 19, 2015 / Comments Off on Did I tell you I undertake quilt commissions?

One off quilt commissions are always welcome. If you wish to make a quilt from cherished old clothes, or from your own special stash of fabric,  Lisa will work with you to design a quilt to the size&style that fits you&your home. Lisa can also stitch a quilt (-floor cushion-tent-laptop cover-you decide) as a special gift to celebrate a significant event, or can make a personalised quilt just for you or for a loved one. Just get in touch with Lisa to discuss your quilt ideas further.

Lisa’s latest commission was to take Karen Halicki’s wedding dress and stitch it into a Wedding Dress quilt; I am absolutely delighted with my beautiful quilt made by Lisa. I was at a loss as to what I should do with my wedding dress and wanted to preserve it in some way. After deciding it should have a new life as a quilt, I contacted Lisa who kindly and patiently explained the process, helping me to decide how it should look. She then spent a lot of time and effort making, what I thought was a rather crazy idea, into a reality. I am really grateful to Lisa for putting up with me but most of all for transforming my poor, neglected dress into a thing of beauty again!!”

The tops of these quilts are fabulous Harris Tweed and the backs include sumptuous British velvet surrounded by distinctly British fabrics. You can view more of my current quilt collections here; https://www.quiltsbylisawatson.co.uk/quilt-gallery/
