Hello, my name is Nicola Dodd and it's lovely to meet you. 

​

If you are brand new to quilting, firstly 'hurray' you're going to have so much fun, secondly go to the FAQ Page to find the answers to a few questions I've asked myself. If you've already made a quilt of two please stop by at the Blog or the Tutorials Page, where you can find help with new-to-you techniques and lots of inspiration for creating a quilt that's truly yours.

​

I became smitten with quilting nearly ten years ago (it seems more like ten minutes, but time flies when you're having fun). At the time I didn't know anyone who quilted, so I started learning how from books, YouTube and the blogs of fellow quilters worldwide. I am so very grateful to the wonderful people who have generously shared their knowledge, I wouldn't be writing this now without them. 

​

I have a background in Conservation Architecture and Garden Design - I don't go anywhere without my sketchbook - so lovely old houses and country gardens are a constant inspiration for my quilts. I design projects for Today's Quilter (my favourite magazine, I'm still pinching myself...) and the marvellous Moda Bakeshop, as well as appearing as a guest designer on the Sewing Quarter. In my Shop you can find patterns in both Paper and PDF formats, along with project Kits chock-full of my favourite fabrics.

 

I am lucky enough to live in the glorious county of Shropshire in the UK, with my husband, two  sons and a loopy lurcher called Buddy. You can often find me messing about on Instagram when I should be working, so come and catch me out @nicolajdodd or go to the Contact Page to get in touch (and don't be shy, I love a chat).

 

Until then, happy sewing,

 

Nicola xx
