Nicholas Ball is an improv quilter from Cardiff, South Wales.  After graduating Art School in 2006, it would be some six years before the quilting bug bit.  With a passion for improv quilting, Nicholas’ aesthetic is an organic one, preferring to sew without the use of patterns or templates.  He takes a lot of inspiration from natural world and his Vegetable Patch quilts showcase his love for liberated sewing.  He has taught improv quilting both nationally and internationally, contributed to the UK leading quilting magazines and was a co-presenter of the QNNTV show ‘Quilt Monkey’, alongside fellow UK quilter Katy Jones. His debut book ‘Inspiring Improv’ was published in April 2019 by Lucky Spool and the his coordinating Aurifil thread collection followed in August.
