| About Us Quilt Direct is one of the largest and longest established dedicated Quilting Mail Order companies in the UK. The company is owned by Katherine Letherby. From a family of needlewomen her childhood was spent surrounded by fabrics and threads, she still has her first embroidery aged 5. Katherine's passion for machine sewing was ignited when she sat down at her first Bernina sewing machine in 1986. Along side her life long love of horses she opened and ran Moor Silks & Quilts in Tavistock and Thornbury Bristol and then purchased Quilt Direct in 2003. Now she and her husband Graham run Quilt Direct from their old Devon farmhouse high up on beautiful Dartmoor. Katherine still finds time for teaching and is a respected distributor of Bernina sewing machines.
