Sarah Hibbert is a modern quilter influenced as much by art and architecture as quilting heritage. Often starting with traditional quilt blocks and giving them an improvisational twist, Hibbert's use of textural fabric, hand stitching, and natural, rich tones, as well as her clever-but-limited use of prints, has led to her work being shown internationally and acquired for both public and private collections. Recently, Hibbert has challenged herself to create small paper collages within a limited time frame. Selecting from these simple pieces, she scales the design to construct quilts that retain the spontaneity of the originals while showcasing her characteristic quilting style. She lives in London.
