If we haven\u2019t met before, my name\u2019s Gail Lawther, and I\u2019m a quilter and textile artist.<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"gail<\/a><\/h1>\n

I began working full-time in fabric and thread about 20 years ago, and can\u2019t imagine a better way to earn my living!\u00a0I design and stitch quilts for books and patterns, and also create larger pieces on commission.<\/h3>\n

I travel all round the UK and further afield, giving talks about my quilts and teaching workshops, and several times each year\u00a0I do residential workshops in different places. You can find out more about all of these on the Talks and Workshops<\/a> page.<\/h4>\n

\"small<\/a><\/p>\n

You will find me, often with my husband Chris, at quilt shows around the country; we try to do a different combination of shows each year,\u00a0but are always at the Festival of Quilts at NEC in August.<\/p>\n

You can find details of our current books,\u00a0as well as all my patterns, on their particular\u00a0website pages. I\u2019m now offering some of my quilts for sale, via the website.<\/p>\n

Chris and I also edit, design and publish books, booklets, catalogues and publicity, for ourselves and other quilters.\u00a0Chris is a graphic designer, and also teaches the subject part-time at Foundation Degree level, while I\u2019m a trained editor.
\nPlease get in touch if you\u2019d like to know more about our publishing and design services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I design and make church banners (see the\u00a0Banners<\/a>\u00a0page); many of these designs are available to buy as full-size patterns,\u00a0so that you can create your own versions for your church.<\/p>\n

When we\u2019re not working, we love walking by the sea near our South Coast home, and exploring Britain and further afield;\u00a0nothing beats sitting in the sun, reading, with a cool glass of wine or Pimms and some snacks at hand \u2026<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find a couple of Youtube clips which relate to our latest two books: Bonnie McCaffery interviewing me about Glimpses of New Zealand<\/em>,\u00a0and our home-produced iMovie on Glimpses of Britain<\/em>.\u00a0Both books \u00a0\u2013 and more! \u2013can be ordered using the Book & Patterns order form 2017<\/a> on the home page.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EBpjX2pHiBU”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zn8UjIgUqMc”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
