Quilted Tea Mat

Made in UK

Small tea mats made with off-cuts of hand painted and dyed linens and cottons. Lined with 100% cotton batting, these mats protect surfaces from heat.

Tessa Layzelle started quilting around the arrival of her first child. Having a background in Fine Art, she took inspiration from women artists like Sonia Delaunay who made a beautiful abstract quilt for her baby, Barbara Hepworth who made largest work after having triplets and a quilt makers of Alabama’s Gee’s Bend.

Mixing traditional hand quilting techniques and painting, quilt making for her is an intriguing means for attempting to answer questions of abstraction, pattern and composition with the outcome being both artwork and object, it’s practice being inherently sustainable.
