Wedding Quilt Commissions
Personalised wedding quilt commissions are always welcome.
Lisa will work with you to design a wedding quilt to the size & style that fits you & your home.
Your quilt will be truly unique to you, hand finished and stitched to last so to become an heirloom piece.
A quilt 200cm by 150cm with a design that isn’t too complex will take on average 20 to 25 hours to sew costing around £500 to £550.
A quilt commission will take up to 6-8 weeks to stitch from the mutually agreed stitching start date.

A Wedding Quilt Made From Claire's Mothers Wedding Dress, Lisa WClaire asked me to use her mother's wedding dress, as well as her own, plus some precious vintage linens in a truly unique patchwork quilt. I was pleased to be also able to use the bodice of Claire's wedding dress to stitch an accompanying cushion. Claire emailed me; I've just returned from a few days away to the most wonderful quilt, I’m absolutely thrilled with it & how you have done the cushion to show all the lovely parts of my dress. I cannot thank you enough.
A Celebratory Wedding Quilt For Jen and Tim, Lisa WJen asked me to use beautiful silk napkins and a table runner hand dyed by textile artist Sian Lancaster which were used on her wedding day, as the focus and starting point for her patchwork quilt. Following a design consultation we decided on some complimentary soft pink linen from Merchant&Mills to edge the silk, with a cream brushed cotton used as the backing fabric.
A Wedding Dress Quilt For Karen, Jo Bradbury; https://www.instagram.com/jobradburyphotography/Lisa's first quilt commission was to take Karen's wedding dress and stitch it into a Wedding Dress quilt. Here's what Karen said about her quilt; I am absolutely delighted with my beautiful quilt made by Lisa. I was at a loss as to what I should do with my wedding dress and wanted to preserve it in some way. After deciding it should have a new life as a quilt, I contacted Lisa who kindly and patiently explained the process, helping me to decide how it should look. She then spent a lot of time and effort making, what I thought was a rather crazy idea, into a reality. I am really grateful to Lisa for putting up with me but most of all for transforming my poor, neglected dress into a thing of beauty again!!
A Wedding Quilt For Pat's Daughter & Future Son In-law, Lisa Wat asked me to stitch a wedding quilt for her daughter & future son in law.

The distinctive triangular patchwork design was chosen as the mother of the bride was given a similar patchwork quilt for her wedding. This is a truly unique personalised wedding quilt commission. Pat kindly wrote... From my wide and varied theme request and colour challenge, Lisa has patiently sourced, planned, advised and sewn the most wonderfully individual gift, which surpasses all my hopes and expectations!
