About Us

My name is Alan Teather and I have had a lifetime of experience.


I served in the military, became disabled, got married, had a family, and
suffer badly from long-term mental illness. Reading this, you can understand if
I say there have been a few ups and downs along the way.

My way of coping is meditation and being a passionate craft worker, which
has helped me for many decades now. Also, I have long experience in photography and
glasswork, candle making, sewing, crocheting, and especially traditional
quilting. All to a high-quality standard.

University

In 2015 at the tender age of 54, I decided, on a whim, to return to
education.  I decided to study for a
degree in Contemporary Textiles and Products.

Having been out of education for nearly 40 years, I had to do an Access to
Higher Education first. After passing that course, I started my degree course
in September 2016.

After 3, long, tumultuous, and exhausting years I gained a BA (Hons) degree in Contemporary Textiles
and Products
.  This was at the
Northern School of Art in Hartlepool.

Moving on

As a result, quilting was especially hard to ignore when it came to setting up
a business. I have been doing quilting for 25 years, the longest
time of any “hobby”. Therefore, it seemed only appropriate to take my love further, hence Alan Teather
Quilting
.

You can be assured of friendly, warm, and award-winning Customer Service at Alan
Teather Quilting.  If you are a beginner,
a consummate professional, or a worldwide megastar then you are welcome. 

So, there we are, a brief history of me and I look forward to helping you
with your quilting adventure.
