Looking for a weekend project that’s big on charm but small in scale? Say hello to Dolly’s Heart, a sweet little Irish Chain mini quilt designed by Joy Bentley.

Originally created for a dolly’s pram set, this project is all about the "slow stitch" details. While the patchwork is classic, it’s the hand-quilted hearts that give this piece its name and its soul.

Intuitive Textiles with Miesje Chafer!

Designer Miesje Chafer doesn’t believe in rigid plans. From her cozy, thread-filled home studio on the English coast, she creates vibrant textile art using an entirely improvised process.

By starting at the center of a piece and working outwards—a method based on strip quilting—she allows each wallhanging to grow organically into something completely unique.

Crewelwork: From Ancient Roots to Modern Stitches

How does a centuries-old craft stay relevant today? Our latest feature, "Under the Influence of Crewelwork Tradition," follows two master embroiderers who prove that while the roots of crewelwork are ancient, the possibilities are infinite.
