- **Event Name**: Talk: Patchwork with Lauren MacDonald
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 11:00 am – Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A fascinating exploration of quilting past and present by Lauren MacDonald – textile designer, quilt-maker and author.

Lauren will talk about her new book Piece by Piece, a guide to making 20 modern patchwork and quilting projects from preloved fabrics. She’ll also dive into her own textile journey – quilts she has known and loved, and the quilts she has created over the last 15 years. She’ll also draw on one of the treasures of the museum collection – the patchwork coverlet created by Jane and her mother and sister Cassandra from scraps of dress and furnishing fabrics, which can be seen on display in the House.

Piece by Piece is a hands-on craft book complete with patterns, tutorials and projects that use a mix of quilting, patchwork and applique. Lauren shares her enthusiasm for and knowledge of quilting with approachable warmth and humour in this indispensable guide to modern patchwork and quilting.

Lauren MacDonald is a London-based designer, author, and founder of textiles studio, Working Cloth. She’s interested in the intersections between craft, technology, and labour, particularly around activities traditionally considered ‘womens’ work’. Her first non-fiction book, In Pursuit of Color: from fungi to fossil fuels: uncovering the origins of the world’s most famous dyes was released in 2023. Her second book, Piece by Piece: modern patchwork and quilting projects to make from pre-loved fabrics came out last spring. Working Cloth has collaborated with the Institute of Making at University College London (UCL), Toast, and Sydney Craft Week. Lauren's work has featured in The New York Times, Vogue, CNN, Hyperallergic, Country Living, Homes &amp; Gardens and House &amp; Home.
