Millicent Dwyer's Magnificent Quilts
Millicent has an entire cupboard stuffed full with quilts - from her first project made as a girl to her more recent creations. She showed us a small selection dating from the 80's and 90's


Above: a quilt with a difference: Millicent likes to put her own spin on traditional patterns, adapted them to suit the materials available to her. This is a cotton mix, using scraps from clothes and curtains

Above: this Scrap Quilt is a riot of colour and texture. This quilt was hidden underneath another quilt; I suspect it was made sometime during the 90's

Above: a sneaky peek in to Millicent's sewing room, where all the magic happens. This lovely vintage piece caught my eye, no doubt it will soon be incorporated into one of her quilts soon!
