Philippa Naylor

Philippa has won many top prizes at quilt shows in the UK and United States. She is the only non-American to have more than one quilt in the collection of the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. The museum has purchased three of her award-winning quilts. Philippa's twelve-inch miniature quilt, Wearable Art, won Best Miniature award at AQS Quiltweek 2017. The museum wanted to purchase her miniature, but Philippa decided to keep it as she wasn’t quite ready to let it go! Philippa has spent the last 12 years travelling internationally to teach and to exhibit her work at large shows, guilds and private groups.

Philippa tells us, "Bottom Line is my favorite thread. It is fine, strong, lint-free, comes in a wide range of colors, has a good defined twist, and a wonderful elasticity. I use it in the bobbin for free-motion machine quilting; the top and bottom for piecing; and as my bobbin thread for decorative embroidery satin and blanket stitch. It disappears into the fabric, eliminating bulky seams and enabling precision. I use Bottom Line in the bobbin and #100 Kimono Silk in the top for free-motion quilting on my award winning miniature quilts. It's also brilliant for hand applique and hand finishing in garment making. This thread truly helps make my sewing what it is!"
