The origins of patchwork being used to recycle off-cuts of fabric reflects a particular focus on sustainability in Kate's work, and her career as a fabric buyer has given her a keen awareness of the potential for creative use of excess materials. Combining a love of colour and traditional craft, she makes patchwork quilts, wallhangings, cushions, and quilt kits, as well as designing prints.
She is based in Peckham, London, and regularly teaches both group and one-to-one quilting classes.
