Hello, I’m Brenda

I have been sewing since I was a girl and quilting for more than forty years. Most of my quilts are made from scraps: the ends of old shirts, the last strip of a good fabric, a bag of squares from a friend who stopped sewing. I like a quilt that looks a little different from every angle, and I like that nothing is wasted.

I do my piecing on a machine and my quilting by hand, in the evenings, with a thimble and the radio on. The quilts I make for family are not for sale. What I sell is the part that is useful to you: the patterns I have written and tested, the guides to the small jobs that put people off, and two video courses that walk you through a first quilt and a first hand-quilted piece.
