My Journey
Hi, my name is Janette Hopkins. I have been Patchwork and Quilting for over 25 years and teaching Patchwork and Quilting for the last 7 years.
I have a level 3 City & Guilds in Art, Design, Patchwork and Quilting , also a City & Guilds Diploma in Design, Craft, Patchwork and Quilting. More importantly, I am passionate about my Art – and all things quilted !
Quilting has been used for a diverse range of objects, from clothing to intricate objects such as pincushions. Along with patchwork, quilting is most often associated with its use for bedding. But quilts are not only practical objects. The quilts in my collection have been preserved for many different reasons, whether sentimental or commemorative, as examples of needlework skills and techniques, or even because of the specific fabrics used in their designs.
I am particularly pleased to be able to offer weighted lap pads and weighted quilts, which greatly benefit those with Autism and Alzheimer’s, also fidget lap pads and aprons, bene-fitting those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. These are made to order, so give me a call and we can discuss details.
As well as ready made items, I also take commissions for both bespoke quilts and memory quilts. I make them from fabric or clothing that is precious to you so please call me for a chat so we can discus your requirements.
Please browse my shop, from gifts to quilts & lots between, I hope you enjoy what you find.
