Show notes

My guest today is Chris English. He makes heirloom quality quilts from a variety of fabrics using old clothes and giving fabric a new lease on life. I first saw his quilts at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham two years ago and I loved every stitch, the use of colour, and every title of his message driven quilts. He studied textile design at university and has become a quiltmaker with a passion.

QOF Episode 171 - In Loving Memory of Carole Lyles Shaw Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

This week (August 2024) we lost a beautiful, creative voice in our industry - Carole Lyles Shaw. She was a bright light in the quilting world and a very much loved member of our community. Carole was a very talented quilter and teacher but also one of those really positive good friends to so many of us. As I processed the news of her passing the day before her podcast episode was supposed to air last week I just took a pause. It was hard to accept after having interviewed her with so much joy just a few weeks ago, but I’ve realized that she put in a lot of work to prepare for her episode and it would be good to honour her memory and share her voice and her story with you. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
