Janet Clare

I create inspirational and lively designs for quilts and stitcheries that combine my unique jointed appliqué templates and free motion machine drawing technique. I am often inspired by words and lovely phrases I come across and by children and the joy they find in the mundane.

As an experienced speaker and teacher, I regularly host talks and workshops focusing on the design process and the creative techniques I use.

I have written four books (and have no intentions to stop!): ‘Freya and Fred- a week of quilts for a girl and her dog’, ‘Hearty Good Wishes- coastal quilts’, 'A Field Guide- quilts for all seasons' and 'Home Quilt Home'.

I live in England in a happy muddle with my family and our dog called Betty.
