Welcome to The Crafty Nomad!

Hi I'm Jo Westfoot, aka The Crafty Nomad.    

I am a quilt designer and contribute to national magazines such as Love Patchwork & Quilting, Quilt Now and Sewing World.  Want to see some of my commissions then click on the PRESS tab below.

I run a popular Bi-Monthly Quilt Pattern Subscription service: VIP Club.  Every other month members get a new release pattern delivered to their door as Happy Mail! Plus support and video tutorials in an exclusive Facebook Group.

On my website you will find free tutorials, patterns for sale and my blog which catalogues my sewing and crafting journey!

Some 'how to' tutorials are written specifically aimed at sewing beginners.  Others are more advanced.  I LOVE modern quilting, so you will find lots on here about that too!

I love sewing and generally making stuff!  I spent three and a half years from Jan 2014 to July 2017 teaching sewing classes locally.  So I have a great idea of how people learn, what they need to help them and what they like.
