Process
Crafted from large widths of dark blue Irish linen, this quilt was machine stitched together. The geometric pattern was stitched onto the linen using Japanese sashiko stitching. The quilt is a sandwich, with the blue linen top, an organic cotton wadding filling, and an oatmeal linen bottom.




Process

Based in County Down in Northern Ireland, Bricolage Quilts was established by Sinead Black. Combining Irish linens and hand-stitching, the small studio creates quilts that feel both traditional and contemporary, featuring geometric patterns and blocks of colour. Sinead studied Interior Design at Glasgow School of Art in and worked in commercial design for practices in the UK and in Australia, before moving into textiles.
