Male quilters
The art of the male quilter.
There have been notable male quilters in the past. Joseph Hedley of Warden, Northumberland, a tailor by trade soon acquired a reputation for fine quilts.
A Broadsheet report on Joe Hedley’s murder in 1826 stated “He was quite a genius in his line, and the taste which he displayed in the inventions of his figures, and the care and dispatch with which he drew them, were very astonishing”.
