Mosaic Patchwork A5 Notebook – Ina MacRae | The Quilt Collection

Mosaic Patchwork A5 Notebook – Ina MacRae

A beautiful piece of quilting history, reimagined for everyday use.

Featuring a vibrant reproduction of Mosaic Patchwork with Padded Centre, this A5 notebook celebrates one of the most intricate and individual pieces held in The Quilt Collection of The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles.

Created by Ina MacRae during the 1930s–40s, the original patchwork is a remarkable example of creativity and resourcefulness. Made using fabric scraps, recycled clothing and remnants from her family's haberdashery business, its elaborate geometric design surrounds a distinctive padded circular centre.

The story behind the quilt is just as fascinating as its design. Some of the paper templates used in its construction contain fragments of handwritten correspondence, including the words "my own darling" and "my dearest". Whether these were letters from family or a lost love remains a mystery.

Our A5 notebook reproduces this extraordinary patchwork design across both the front and back covers, bringing a little textile heritage into your everyday life.

With lined pages and a practical protective plastic cover, it's perfect for recording quilting ideas, workshop notes, project plans or everyday thoughts.
