Judi Mendelssohn works mostly out of her workshop at The Old Woolbarn in Cowbridge, in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. A patchwork quiltmaker for twenty years, her work specialises in traditional patterns with a contemporary twist with the use of colour, which is always a predominant feature.
It is always pieced by machine and quilted by hand with big stitch quilting or by machine. Inspiration for work can come from a variety of sources; the fabric, a poem or song title, frequently from a play of light across the landscape.
In 2005 she completed a commission from the South and Mid Wales region of The Quilters Guild of the British Isles to make a quilt for their twenty fifth anniversary permanent collection. In addition Judi makes quilts, which are wall hangings and lap quilts rather than for beds
Judi gives talks and workshops in patchwork around the whole of the UK. In addition to this she teaches a regular programme of workshops in Cowbridge.
