$We’re delighted to announce the publication of ‘Free-form Quilts and Patchwork’ by textile artist Jessie Cutts. In Free-Form Quilts and Patchwork, internationally renowned Jessie Cutts of Cutts & Sons shows quilting doesn’t need to be daunting or require meticulous measurements or lots of planning. Instead, you can design and make up your work as you go along, being playful with colour and allowing mistakes to take your projects in new creative directions. Author Jessie Cutts says “This book serves as a written version of the free-form way I like to create patchwork and quilt-making in my art practice. The book encompasses 10 projects, a section on experimentation as well as all the techniques needed. I hope to encourage you to have the confidence to play and have fun working with fabric intuitively. I would love for you to come away from this book equipped with the tools to discover your own quilting language and create your own unique work.” Commissioning Editor Rebecca Armstrong says “Jessie Cutts is an absolute superstar in the quilting world, and we are thrilled to be launching her first book. It’s perfect for quilters who wants to get more experimental with their practice or anyone who wants to give the craft a go but feels too daunted by the rigidity of strict patterns and guidelines. {…} I defy anyone not to see this book and be enticed – it is truly a visual feast!” ‘Free-form Quilts and Patchwork’ is available to pre-order now via the link in our bio. Available from all good bookshops form 14 May 2026. #quilts #quiltmaking #patch #patchwork #sewing #embroidery #Textiles #craft #freeform #freeformquilts #jessiecutts #cuttsandsons @cuttsandsons @townley_terrace$
