Conscious Crafts: Quilting

In my contribution to the Conscious Crafts series from Leaping Hare Press, I explore the meditative nature of the quilting process and its empowering skill set for creating, mending and mindfulness.

Drawing on the traditions of scrap quilting and hand quilting, the book offers 20 projects, ranging from simple coasters, bags and cushions to quilts and curtains. It covers the basic techniques of quilt making and shows how these can be adapted and developed for different projects, as well as mending and repurposing.

Clean photography, contemporary illustration and heart-affirming text are neatly sewn together to celebrate handwork and the act of crafting for a sustainable future.
