Meet Chris English of Chris English Quilts! - Ep. 171

This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, my guest is Chris English of Chris English Quilts. Chris studied textile art at university before spending nearly twenty years in the corporate world of web design. Quilting was always in the background, sparked years ago by the Liberty Book of Home Sewing. Now, with corporate life behind him, Chris is diving fully into his creative practice, making the work he truly wants to make.

Chris is known for his bold use of recycled and repurposed fabrics, blending unexpected elements like oversized florals with classic men’s shirting, and adding depth through screen-printed textures. He’s collaborated with Aurifil on collections including Street Art and a new release with Sally Kelley. With a strong influence from the punk scene, Chris brings fearless energy to his latest projects, pushing quilting into exciting territory.
