Before she started making her larger-than-life quilts, Emily Campbell was a pattern maker for fashion designer Jean Muir. Her creations, which honour her love for fabric and print, are driven by the homespun quality of patchwork – a technique she calls “an ancient recycling system”. The Kuba Meander quilt in linen, cotton and silk features a palette inspired by traditional Congolese raffia appliqué, with a continuous line of colour guided by ancient Mayan labyrinths. A true labour of love, it takes one full week to come to fruition.

Meet the Maker:
Pemberton Qwilts
Multidisciplinary artist Emily Campbell has journeyed through several esteemed establishments, from Yale School of Art to Pentagram in New York. Her founding of Pemberton Qwilts – named after the woman who taught her to sew, Sheila Frances Hayes, formerly Pemberton – came about in 2012 when she saw a quilt made from denim and work clothes in an exhibition about the famed Alabama-based quilting community, Gee’s Bend. This moment is pivotal to her story, as it inspired her to upcycle old family jeans into her first patchwork quilt. To inform her work, she looks to the rhythm, rule and variation of Anni Albers’ drawings, as well as the archives of Gustav Klimt, Victor Pasmore and Ellsworth Kelly. Her work is traditional quilt-making, modernised.
