Cloud Quilting - Clare Sowton

Founded by maker and arts professional Claire Sowton, Cloud Quilting is a start-up business which aims to offer the global quilting market new ways to embed meaning in quilt design. 

Cloud Quilting - Clare Sowton

Scottish cultural and heritage data is central to the brand, exploring the visible and hidden meanings embedded in the process of quilting, and considering how these meanings shift and change over time and the implications for quilting futures. 

Through her Resident Entrepreneur project, Claire developed a web-based tool that allows people to use data to produce personalised quilt patterns. The Cloud Quilting website launched in August 2022 to coincide with the 2022 Festival of Quilts.
