The Story So Far.....

After years of wanting to learn about patchwork & quilting, I finally learned the basics whilst living in Sao Paulo, Brazil (1996 - 2002). I purchased a 40 year old Singer sewing machine and joined a quilt group. The group’s theory was...“you watch one, you make one then, you teach one” Soon, the more experienced quilters left Brazil, leaving me as the most experienced quilter in our group….

I continued to run that group for a few years, until my family was moved to Mexico City in 2002, where there were a few small quilt groups already running. I was fully involved with them, this included hosting groups, teaching patchwork & quilting and fabric dying workshops, charity quilts and quilt shows. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my knowledge but my favourite thing to do was teaching beginners. By this time I spent almost every waking moment at my sewing machine and, eventually, it died!

It was time to invest in a new one. After doing lots of research I decide to buy a Bernina 153.. A sewing computer... WOW! Production moved onward and upward. There was no stopping me. I discovered the internet along with purchasing more and more quilting books, I learned new methods and tricks. I was having so much fun...

We moved to Portugal in 2004, there were no quilters to be found, so I joined a craft group and turned them into quilters... Needs must! The quilting word spread and I continued to teach from home and in a quilt shop in Lisbon. I purchased a Bernina Aurora 440 QE and became an agent for the ‘Bernina Guy’.

I started my blog in April 2008, I wish I had started it in 1998 as it is lovely to look back.

In July 2009 we returned to the UK where I continue with my addiction to patchwork & quilting and my search for people to teach all about this amazing, therapeutic and fulfilling hobby, so far, so good….

Update... I opened my very own shop with a classroom on March 10th 2012. "Angie's Patchwork and Quilting Shop" it's a work in progress and proving to be very successful... I LOVE it!

Update, October 2017. My lovely shop continues quite successfully with many more people now enjoying Patchwork and Quilting. Life has thrown up many hurdles over the years and it's lovely that so many lovely people, mostly quilters, have been happy to help me jump over them and to keep jumping over them.

Update... March 2021. 8 shop years and counting. Since the last update there have been way more hurdles. Life can change with a click of your fingers, and it did.

Almost a year with a Covid Closed shop, who could have believed that would happen? I'll keep going, hopefully my little shop will recover.
