Quilting and Patchwork

Discovering New Zealand Quilts & Fabrics

by Mary Emma Allen on October 29th, 2006

As I browsed around looking for various types of quilting and fabric, my attention was caught by Kiwiquilts Ltd (www.kiwiquilts.co.nz ) operated by Mary Metcalf.  Here you’ll find information, quilts and fabric of New Zealand, as well as some from Australia.

I found the colorful fabrics with birds and floral designs eye-catching.  There also are some with interesting black and white designs

Mary also offers a free e-mail newsletter.  You can subscribe on her site. 

 I’ve discovered that so many of the quilting sites offer interesting newsletters and have been filling my mailbox up with them!

    Many thanks Mary Emma for writing about my website. I am about to launch a new website which will allow you to zoom in on the fabrics for an even closer look.
    If you want some unique fabrics for your quilts feel free to visit me ‘downunder’. I ship anywhere in the world. Thanks

    Hi Connie and Mary Emma
    My new revamped website is now up and running, bigger images, zoom in function and you can also purchase fat quarters of any of my fabrics. New fabrics and quilt patterns are added fortnightly.

    Mary, thanks for providing this information for Connie. I hope she finds it here and has a delightful time at a retreat if she decides to take advantage of the ones you mention.
    I’ll have to check out your revamped web site. I think I’m on your mailing list. Do you have a list of workshops and retreats there?
