More about me:

Peter & I live 30 miles south of Melbourne in Australia. We were both born in the north of England and came to Australia in 1974. I have always loved sewing. I used to make clothes for the whole family until I discovered patchwork & quilting! I love to design quilts and bags and to explore new ideas. I also collect antique sewing machines and have 150 toy, miniatures and full size hand cranks. My oldest machine, an American "Monitor' was made in the 1860's and my youngest, a Singer 222K in 1956.
