Quilts By Melissa Burdon

New Zealand

Welcome,

Portrait and pictorial quilts have been my passion since 2010. Since completing my first two simple portraits, I have gone on to develop my own technique that allows me to make more complicated images into quilts.

My quilts have been internationaly juried, exhibited, and awarded. Please have a look at my  Portrait Quilts gallery, where you will find images of these art quilts.   

I love to pass this technique and others through classes. You can see what I have available on the Workshops page. 

If you can't make it to one of my workshops you can purchase a pattern with full instructions of my technique. A range of downloadable patterns for you to make your own beautiful pictorial quilts are available here in the Patterns page.

I am passionate about all forms of quilting, and here within this site you can see examples of my Other Quilts including traditional and modern.

As my quilting journey has progressed I have become fascinated by the design element of the quilting stitch itself. The natural progression of this was purchasing a long arm quilting machine in 2014. Believing that all quilts deserve an individual quilting design, my focus is on custom quilting.
