Welcome to Linda’s Patchwork! I am based in
the Highlands of Scotland about 20 miles
north of Inverness, where I was born. I
returned to the Highlands in 2004 after some
time living in Teesside/North Yorkshire.
I have been doing craft work since 1984,
having been interested in all kinds of
crafts since a child. I am City & Guilds
qualified in Patchwork and Quilting and love
experimenting with unusual materials and
embellishments.
I make traditional cotton patchwork quilts
and other smaller items. One of my most
popular items is a tweed throw, which I make
from remnants and roll ends of tweed (all
new, unused fabric) to make them affordable.
Every piece is unique. I never make two the
same! Again I experiment, this time with
colour combinations which reflect what I see
around me in the Highlands at different
times of year. Tweed throws are warm and
hard wearing as well as being a
traditionally Scottish item. I also use the
tweed in scarves and cushion covers.
I enjoy working on orders and commissions
for customers and if you have an idea we can
discuss your requirements to produce your
exclusive item in patchwork, quilting or
appliqué. Take a look at my gallery for
some ideas!
If you want to make a quilt yourself but do
not know where to start I can help you
design your own quilt with templates for the
pieces and outlines to experiment with
colours. Perhaps you have already started a
quilt or other piece and have lost interest
or you are “stuck”. I could help you finish
your UFO (unfinished fabric object) or
finish it for you.
