About The Peacock Lotus
Since I was a little girl I have loved sewing, with some of my earliest memories of making a Victorian pin cushion in primary school, and making dresses for my toy ponies. I have always loved making handmade gifts for friends and family and so, about 10 years ago, I decided to expand my hobby. I started making patchwork cushions and handbags and would sell these at regional craft fairs and through local craft shops. Over the years as well as working full-time, and becoming a mother to now two toddlers, I also started making baby and memory quilts for my children as well as for family and friends. I discovered a real passion for patchwork quilts and gifts and I have never looked back! What started as a hobby over 10 years ago has gradually grown into an online business where I have decided to make quilting the focus.
I am a self-taught quilter through books, online tutorials, and by attending workshops. I love fabrics so will seek out the best quality fabric and designs for my quilts. I recently completed my first quilt pattern (Over and Under), and hope to create some more. I create my quilts using a ‘longarm quilting frame’ to help finish my quilts to the highest standards.
I hope you enjoy looking through my website, and please feel free to contact me for any questions or feedback.

We commissioned 3 memory cushions for a wedding present and ‘The Peacock Lotus’ has exceeded all our expectations!
The cushions are extremely beautiful, creatively designed and carefully finished.
Nedra kept in touch, really listened to what we wanted and ensured prompt delivery over a bank holiday weekend.
This present, which is in memory of a dear friend means so much…. thank you!
Thank you for the lovely Peter Rabbit Kaleidoscope quilt. We bought it as a new baby gift for one of our team members at work and she was delighted with it as it goes beautifully in their new nursery. We would highly recommend the one-off commission as it was so easy to order and met our timeframe perfectly.
I got my parcel today with the most gorgeous Xmas stockings in… Made me a bit emosh!!! Thank you soooooo much they will be treasured… they are just lovely, I just love them โค๏ธ
Thank you for my baby quilt! It’s gorgeous…I love it love it love it!
Looking at your work takes me back to my childhood when we spent our spare time in groups stitching and knitting and gossiping too. It is great to see this art has not died down and continued with such love. All the very best to you. I love your work Nedra.
I could not be happier with my memory blanket. Very well made down to the finest details. Very special for my newest baby girl made with my eldest girls old clothes.
Thank you Nedra for my/ รabha’s stunning quilt. You chose such beautiful colours and patterns that are absolutely perfect for my little girl. I really love the personalisation of her name and date of birth stitched onto it too. I will definitely be coming back to you for more
