I live in a pretty nineteenth-century cottage in Kent with limited storage space. There are quilts on each of the beds, a quilt on the sofa in the sitting-room and another on the wall. I keep one favourite quilt in my studio, too and each of my two sewing machines has a quilted cover.
After nine years of working in this small business Amanda Jane Textiles I have a collection of many quilts and it is just too sad to just leave them in storage.
Each quilt is an original piece; usually it has been the model for a pattern to sell online in the Amanda Jane Textiles shop on Etsy or for a pattern in a quilt magazine.
The quilts currently for sale are in the second Etsy shop Amanda Handmade Quilts.
I have just added a quilt to the shop. It's a blue sampler quilt and I am very fond of it. If you have read this blog for a long time (thank you, if that's you) you will know that it was the 'block of the month' project here on the blog. Its name is 'Singing the Blues'.
There are twelve different quilt blocks on the front. It has a soft blue chambray back and rounded corners.
It is in the shop here
I love this quilt but I cannot keep them all!
This is Festival of Quilts week - hooray! If you are going, enjoy the show. I have three quilts in the competition so look out for those if you are at the NEC. Do stop to say hello if you see me there.
