Di Holmes and her ‘Di & Jackie original’ quilt
What attracted you to this quilt?
I love the fabric. It’s a Japanese print that Jackie had in the shop. I knew the kind of thing I wanted and Jackie really helped with the design. I made it to give to my brother-in-law so I liked the fact that it looked quite masculine as well.
How long did it take you to make it?
All up it took about six months. We played around to get it all together at the end, especially to highlight it.
How long have you been quilting?
I’ve been quilting for ten years now. I was well and truly bitten by the bug. I’ve actually been going to Blueberries on Wednesdays since Jackie’s been there and I just love it. The Wednesday girls are a real blast and we have so much fun. There’s usually people waiting to get into the Wednesday classes.
What’s the next project?
I’ve just finished a bag and I’ve made accessories to go with it as a travel pack.
