The special gift - the personal quilt
Quilts have always been made for special occasions such as weddings, births, confirmations, birthdays - it is far more than just a warming blanket or wall hanging. It requires artistic skill, craftsmanship and perseverance. Patchwork quilts preserve memories, give joy and invite you to dream.

Below is a brief explanation of how a quilt is constructed; It consists of three layers: a front, a filling and a back. The actual quilting is the sewing of these three layers together so that slippage is prevented and the quilt has an additional plastic effect. The top can be customised using a variety of techniques, materials, shapes and colours.

In many cultures, the quilt is often even considered a family heirloom, which is given as a gift on special occasions. The fact that you can hang it on the wall, cuddle with it on the couch or let a baby play on it also makes it incredibly practical.

In consultation with you, I will design the right quilt, which will be made individually for your recipient - as a warming gift for body, mind and soul.
Prices depend on material, pattern (how small the surface should be), size. The filling and material are chosen according to the desired area of use. Feel free to contact me without obligation!
I look forward to hearing from you.

Contemporary Quilts from old Denim pants, linen, textiles

Hello, I am Dani, quiltmaker and textile artist. I love to sit at the sewing machine and mix unconventional quilts from a variety of fabrics and colors.
I originally trained in garment technology followed by a degree in garment technology. Then, after learning all the essentials of the garment industry and being ready to enter the fashion industry as a professional, I found that I enjoyed cutting up clothing and putting it into a new unexpected context much more. This was then my entry into the world of patchwork and the more I immersed myself in this cosmos the more fascinated I became. Since I know through my education how much energy and work goes into the production of clothing, a sustainable resource-saving use of textiles is particularly important to me, so I mainly use discarded textiles that can be found everywhere – be it in giveaway boxes, flea markets or from acquaintances. Also cuttings of participants from my sewing courses have been incorporated into my patchwork works.

With my quilts I want to preserve the current zeitgeist and tell stories. Especially visible signs of use such as patches, scrapings and holes in textiles attract my attention, because they make the development of the textiles and their wearers from the previous life visible.

For me, the patchwork quilt is the ideal medium for merging colour, material and pattern into a complex visual mesh, thereby emphasising and preserving the beauty of this material. In order to preserve the current zeitgeist, I mainly use old clothes for my work. My attention is drawn at the visible traces of use such as patches, scrapes and holes, because they tell stories from the past life of the textiles and their wearers.

Knowing how much energy and work has to be used for the production of clothing, sustainable resource-saving use of textiles is particularly important to me.
