Contributor to the V&A Museum's book, Patchwork & Quilting

This is me

Hello, my name is Florence. I've now written this blog for over a decade as a record of the things that I make and the thoughts that bobble around in my head while I'm making them. I hope you enjoy reading!

My first book, Flossie Teacakes' Guide to English Paper Piecing, is out in May 2018 and my work also appears in the V&A Museum's book, 'Patchwork & Quilting: A Maker's Guide'. You can find my patterns & tutorials in the left-hand side bar.

A favourite place

This is a baby carved out of stone at St Martin in the Fields...the thing that I love to go and look at most in London.

A coveted item

I think these tiles by Flavia Del Pra are amazing, particularly when all grouped together like this.

A favourite perfume

I love Laura Mercier's Creme Brulee perfume...it reminds me of baking, warm vanillary things and my lovely sister, Laura, who has used the creme brulee range for years.
