Quilts from La Gare and Other Mewsings by Margaret Mew

Quilts from La Gare and Other Mewsings by Margaret Mew

In Quilts from La Gare and Other Mewsings, Margaret Mew presents a collection of deeply personal and beautifully designed quilts, inspired by her love of vintage textiles and the simple joy of hand stitching. This 264-page book, published by Quiltmania, includes 18 stunning quilt projects along with thoughtful reflections on Margaret’s creative process, travels, and life as a quilter.

Unlike her earlier book Quilts from the Colonies, many of the designs in this volume are not rooted in history but are simply quilts she made for herself—each one a reflection of her taste, mood, and textile curiosity. Readers are encouraged to make these quilts their own and add their own “mewsings” along the way.

Projects include:
Travels With Euphemia, The Cleland Coverlet, High Tea With Hattie, The Wistful Gardener, Indiana Medallion, Nether Wallop, The Nairn Cottage Quilt, The Hens of Little Hadlow, 36 Allbrook Hill, and more.

The book also offers a glimpse into Margaret’s charming sewing cottage and walks through how she selects fabrics for new quilts, making this a lovely companion for any quilter who finds joy in the journey.
