Her wonderful creations spread happiness and comfort to a huge variety of people and organisations. Valerie explained what she does, who she does it for – and provided a few useful quilting tips into the bargain!<\/p>\n
This is her story…<\/p>\n
“I make quilts for the Tiny Life<\/a> charity premature baby units in Belfast, Craigavon, and Newry. Besides these, I make baby quilts for friends, relatives and neighbours. These quilts usually are made with machine embroidered blocks, with patchwork blocks. <\/em><\/p>\n “I enjoy quiltmaking and make single and double patchwork quilts. Usually seeing a pattern in a book or magazine that I like, or intrigues me. Some of these go to other charities such as the National Autistic Society<\/a> and the British Heart Foundation<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n “Some are on a beds in our home, at the moment I am concentrating on quilts made with my scrap pieces.”<\/em><\/p>\n “I am using a Janome Memory Craft 9450 QCP<\/a>. It has a big space for big quilts. The stitch formation is good. I bought extra feet and other accessories<\/a> from GUR. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “The acufeed feet are especially useful with 1\/4″ foot, stitch in the ditch, and my absolute favourite the open toe foot. Lets me quilt my designs with accuracy, and enjoy playing at the same time.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We\u2019re still here for you!
