About Sarah Ashford
Hi, I'm Sarah and welcome to my website!
I do hope you'll take a look around. I've loved sewing and quilting for as long as I can remember and I hope you'll enjoy stitching my sewing and quilting patterns. There really is something for everyone, even complete beginners.
I love to teach, so do get in touch if you'd like me to come and teach a workshop. I'm also available to deliver my latest talk, The True Story of the Rajah Quilt via zoom.
I've written 2 books; Jump into Patchwork and Quilting and Rotary Cutting Basics, and I have my own sewing range, 'Sew with Me' for Home Bargains, available nationwide as well as multiple thread collections with Aurifil thread. Not a day goes by when I don't think about quilting!
I look forward to connecting with you :-)
