0:00:29 > 0:00:36- I cared for her for - over six months.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Unfortunately, - we lost her six weeks ago.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- I like clothes.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- My interests are shopping - and walking with my husband.
0:00:48 > 0:00:55- You don't need a makeover.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02- It will be nice to have someone else - to tell me what to wear.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- I've never been to the hairdresser.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13- I cut her hair.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Do you wear any make-up?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I'm not worried at all.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- I'm happy to wear anything.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- I look forward to the results.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Recently, we've highlighted various - traditional art and crafts skills.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21- Today, we focus on quilting.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Quilt-making is a Welsh tradition.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- But it was more common - in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion...
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- ..before reaching - the industrial South Wales Valleys.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Heledd Gwyndaf - met a modern-day quilter.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Quilting is an old craft.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41- One of Wales' best quilters lives - in the tapestry town of Aberaeron.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Many of the old crafts have - developed and now use electricity...
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- ..but Deanne Hartwell-Jones doesn't.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Deanne's patchwork quilts have - been handmade for over 40 years.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- It all started - after purchasing a brass bed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08- I thought a patchwork quilt - would look nice on the bed.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- You hand-make all of the quilts - and you don't use a sewing machine.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I find the noise - of a sewing machine distracting...
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- ..and prefer to hear the birds - in the garden.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29- Occasionally, I hear the sea - but I prefer peace and quiet.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- What inspires your work?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- I'm inspired by many things - including my memories.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Landscapes and geometry are also - an obvious part in Deanne's work.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- With her mathematical mind - and background...
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- ..there's no surprise the quilts - are incredibly difficult to create.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Yes, they're very difficult to make.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- I'm very fond of geometry.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- I try to create geometric patterns - which can be made on a machine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- When an idea comes to mind, - I plan it in my book.
0:04:07 > 0:04:14- Deanne Hartwell-Jones' exhibitions - and talks are popular across Europe.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- I've kept all the quilts that - I've made over the past 40 years.
0:04:19 > 0:04:26- I don't show photographs of the - quilts but the quilts themselves.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- After deciding on an idea, - what is the next step?
0:04:31 > 0:04:39- I have a book with numerous designs - as small as my nail.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- There are many different steps - to the quilting business.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Deanne begins with the patchwork - and uses paper for perfection.
0:04:49 > 0:04:57- I work out the measurements - before starting my sewing journey.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- What happens once you've put - the designs on to paper?
0:05:02 > 0:05:11- I cut the pieces of paper - and larger segments of material...
0:05:12 > 0:05:22- ..and put a rough stitch through the - paper before sewing it all together.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28- This piece is going to be added - to the larger piece.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- It will be part of the border - and there's one for every square.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- I also need to work out - the corner pieces.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- At the end, the papers are removed - before adding cotton or wool...
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- ..which will create the cushion - in the quilt and the back.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Extra sewing is needed to go through - the three different layers...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- ..which creates the sewing - pattern of the quilt.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- There's no better place to complete - the work than on a quilting frame.
0:06:02 > 0:06:09- The pattern is pulled - so I can use a chalk pencil...
0:06:09 > 0:06:16- ..that marks the fabric enough - for me to sew it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Many of these plans are traditional.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- The quilting changes the feel - of the patchwork.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- It gives a 3D feel to the pattern.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Quilting for Deanne - is like an addiction.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42- After completing my first quilt, - I couldn't give it up.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- It was a challenge - to make the next one.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- They looked great.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Have you ever coloured it?- - No, never.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Is that why it's in such - great condition, Ruth?

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- There's not much work to do - to the hair...

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- If you moved the parting to the - other side, would it feel strange?
0:12:18 > 0:12:24- Yes, it would be quite uncomfortable - and could cause headaches.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16- One character deceives herself and - the other deceives everyone else.
