Meet Tomomi McElwee, the quilting expert behind Slaney Quilting Studio in Carlow, Ireland!
Tomomi is originally from Japan and has had a passion for needlework since childhood. After moving to Ireland in 1998, she started making patchwork quilts. She taught herself at first, then joined the Irish Patchwork Society and took part in international workshops to learn more.
With over 20 years of experience, Tomomi creates quilts that are both beautiful and functional. Her work combines the fine craftsmanship of Japan with a traditional Irish touch. She loves choosing fabrics and adding texture, and she still finds joy in the process after all these years.
Tomomi’s quilts have won local competitions and have been featured in exhibits across Ireland and beyond. For the last 10 years, she has shared her passion for quilting by teaching students. Her cosy studio is filled with everything you need to create your own quilt.
It all starts with simple fabric and thread, but there is so much more to explore. I love travelling around the country teaching other quilters new techniques and helping them expand their abilities.
