I provide a long arm quilting service unique to Angus, Scotland. Contact me to discuss your requirements regarding the quilting of your quilt top.

I own a APQS long arm sewing machine which sits on a 12ft frame. I can
accommodate all sizes of quilts. I can offer a pantograph set pattern or custom
work. Prices start from as little as £2.30 per square foot.

If you are in the Balfron area why not be inspired by the work of the City & Guild Textile students from the exhibition!

Student exhibition fast approaching! Come and see the amazing textile art and quilts created by my lovely students who have just completed the City & Guilds Certificate or Diploma in Patchwork and Quilting.

Went to Kaleidoscope Quilts yesterday, not too far from Stirling, for the first time ever! Loved it- such an AMAZING range of batiks, Moda solids, grunge, tula pink and many, many more!
I believe their sale starts next week, prices start at £6.00, £7.00, £8.00 & £9.00 per metre. 10% off anything else.
They were still unpacking from the Festival of Quilts and the tables that you see in the video that are covered over are the beginnings of the sales tables. Hmmm, tempted to go back very soon! ❤️

My lovely customer Gill, messaged me to say how delighted she was with the quilting on her Lonestar Scandi quilt. I haven't made a lonestar quilt myself, but it's definitely on the list! The quilting design is called 'Curly Hearts' definitely on the list!

Does anyone recognise this quilt block? Would love to know what it's called 🤔. I've just quilted this gorgeous blue and white quilt! It's using mostly Japenese inspired fabrics.

Wow! - had been custom quilting this beauty quilt for some time. My wonderfully talented customer has hand-turned appliquéd each of these exquisite blocks. This meant lots of cross-hatching for me to make these blocks pop! I then echoed the flower designs in the outer sashes. A labour of love for both me and the maker! ❤️
