About Make Do & Mend Quilts:
My name is Deb McGuire and I am a local mum of three kids aged 6, 5 and 1. I was a failed knitter who didn’t think I had the patience for making things. Three years ago I wanted a quilt for my son’s bed. In searching eBay for a department store quilt I stumbled upon an unfinished handmade romantic 1930’s butterfly quilt from Ohio. I was determined to learn how to finish the quilt, and so my patchwork obsession began.
Inspirations:
I didn’t think I could make a quilt, and so many people when admiring my quilts have said the same. The idea of a complete kit with really simple instructions to show that everyone can make a quilt was a simple next step. I am passionate about showing people that they can do it, and after one kit quilt they are usually hooked! I source great modern fabrics and design contemporary quilts that look great in your baby’s room today, but will be a future family heirloom.

Best Sellers:
My best seller is called Jitterbug Butterflies and I love it, as it encapsulates what Make Do & Mend is about. It is a great bright modern design, but made from 1950’s style prints, the perfect marriage of traditional and modern.

At the More Than A Mama - Christmas Fayre:
At the fayre I will be selling kits for all of my baby quilts, and the originals will be there for you to touch and see as inspiration. I will also be previewing my Make Do & Mend Quilty Comforters in kit form. For the nervous sewer, and at under £25, these are smaller than a quilt and make a great Christmas gift idea for an expectant mum (or soon to be Granny!), or make the Quilty yourself and give to a grateful Little Person to snuggle this winter.
