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

People in Love (2026)
Claire Daverley
"Claire Daverley's love stories are heartfelt, full of warmth, and show the everyday intimacies that make a life."

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."
