About Quilting with Nanna
A kitchen-table quilting guide written in a grandmother's voice, for anyone who wants to learn slowly and make something worth keeping.
This is a quilting guide written the way a nanna teaches: one step at a time, with plenty of encouragement and no fuss about perfection.
Who it’s for
Complete beginners who have never held a rotary cutter. Parents and grandparents who want a project to share with children. Anyone holding a bag of a loved one’s clothes and wondering what to do with them.
What you’ll find
- Beginner lessons that start with a single patchwork square
- Hand techniques you can do in an armchair
- Guidance on memory and heirloom quilts
- Ideas for quilting alongside children
What I believe
A quilt doesn’t need to be perfect to be loved. Wonky seams are part of the story. And the time spent making it together matters as much as the finished thing on the bed.
