"The inspiration for this quilt comes from a bedcover housed in the York Museums Trust.

The original quilt was made by Elizabeth Warren in 1819. My quilt is worked on an old damask tablecloth I owned. It is all needle turn appliqué and hand quilted in Perle 12 thread. I have used red, blue and pink fabrics which I think look so fresh on the white antique damask."
