Jack of all trades, NO More!
Textiles have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From sewing on my grandmother’s vintage machine as a child to discovering quilting in my teenage years, fabric and thread have always been my language of making.
For years I explored many crafts, but quilting became the one that demanded my full attention. What began as a single quilt made just for myself became a turning point—transforming curiosity into commitment, and passion into purpose. Letting go of other crafts allowed me to immerse myself completely in quilting: piecing, long-arm and domestic machine quilting, education, and constant experimentation with thread and texture.
In 2018, Make It Quilted became a reality. Since then, I’ve quilted hundreds of projects, learned from Australian and international teachers, and proudly contributed quilts to community initiatives such as Aussie Hero Quilts. My work has been recognised nationally and internationally, including awards at the 2020 Virtual Quilt Show USA and multiple guild exhibitions.
Thread plays a central role in my work. My love for Glide threads naturally led to becoming a retailer, continuing the availability of these exceptional products for Australian quilters.
Today, quilting is my sole focus. Using my Gammill machine, I combine digital and free-motion quilting techniques to enhance each quilt’s unique story. I work closely with every client to create thoughtful, individual designs—bringing out the very best in every quilt that passes through my hands.
