Miniature Quilt Group

Handbag Collection

The Handbag Collection is a varied selection of miniature quilts made by Quilters Quilt members and includes MQG challenges, competition entries and others made just for the fun of it! It comes packed in a handbag, accompanied by a commentary and white gloves, and is hired out for showing to groups, either for their meetings or as an 'extra' for group exhibitions.

Sarah fernandez - working with longarm quilter

https://www.rosehillquilts.com

My name is Sara, and I grew up in Spain, where I learned the basics of sewing from my grandmother, a talented seamstress. When I was 16, I was volunteering in the school library and expressed an interest in learning how to quilt. The librarian responded, “Well, you’re in luck because I’m the president of the quilters’ guild!”—true story! She taught me traditional piecing, foundation paper piecing (FPP), and basic quilting skills, and I got to experiment with her extensive fabric stash.

Since then, quilting has been my main creative outlet. I love working with bright colors, fun prints, and especially big medallion quilts—they’re my favorite! I now live in Oxford, UK, where I teach quilting and share my passion for fabric with others.
