Description

Unique, heirloom quilts. Handmade, hand dyed and botanically printed using plants gathered from my Grandmother’s garden.
The quilts are made from re-purposed 100% wool blankets and 100% cotton sheets (re-purposed). The squares are dyed in small batches using native, hand foraged and sustainably sourced dyes stitched together with un-dyed organic cotton, each colour palette is carefully chosen to reflect nature and create a harmonious connection between textile and land.

Quilt dimensions: 1m x 83cm

These beautiful quilts are made by Steph who works with us at The Outside but is also working on her own as the Wild Plant Laboratory.
