Florence Knapp has developed an obsession with English paper-piecing, creating intricate quilt tops sewn entirely by hand. Refusing to be bound to the sewing machine, she views sewing as a much more sociable and portable activity.
She also writes general sewing patterns and articles for sewing magazines, as well as shares tutorials on her blog, Flossie Teacakes.

Florence Knapp recommends

The Shock of the Light (2026)
Lori Inglis Hall
"Far-reaching, but also intimate and intensely personal in the loves, secrets, and betrayals it examines... a quietly devastating story about lost time and lost futures that will stay with me."

Show Me Where it Hurts (2025)
Claire Gleeson
"Exceptional. Also brave. One of those novels that, afterwards, makes me think not just about the story itself, but also about why we read, and the role of fiction."

The Correspondent (2025)
Virginia Evans
"Open-hearted with some, a hedgehog curled tight in a ball with others, I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply and risk lowering her defences. Both serious and uplifting, in The Correspondent, Virginia Evans shows us what a glorious thing growing older can be."
