Shirley and Veronica are a mother and daughter team whose love of quilting led them to begin their own Professional Machine Quilting Service.

The enjoyment of helping others complete their quilt tops and the continual contact with other quilters encouraged them to expand their business to include Patchwork Fabrics, Patterns, Kits, Quilting Accessories, Patchwork Classes and Workshops.

If you visit their friendly informative blog, you will discover the wide range of classes on offer

Needles and Pins

Kaye from Needles and Pins is another fabulous person who lends her support to the NOTYQ Quilt Exhibition

Needles and Pins

Needles and Pins have been in Warrandyte for over 20 years and in December 2000 Kaye Millsom took over as the owner. Kaye has sewn, embroidered, knitted, patched & quilted and created for as long as she can remember, so when the opportunity came along to take on a little quilt shop, selling the things she loved it was the culmination of a dream.
Needles and Pins is at the Goldfield Shopping Centre at 102 Melbourne Hill Road Warrandyte. 

Phone: 03 9844 1720

Opening Hours:
9.30 - 5.00 Monday to Friday
9.30 - 1.30 Saturday
EFTPOS is available and most credit cards are accepted.

Needles and Pins is more than just a quilt shop, it's the place where you can learn, be inspired and be motivated, so hopefully you'll be able to visit and to have that touchy-feely experience and see the true colour and texture of their entire range of fabrics. You'll be assured of a warm welcome and professional service.

Needles and Pins are proud to offer all kinds of reproduction fabrics including well known ranges from Judie Rothermel, Jo Morton, Howard Marcus and many more, as well as ranges from Moda Fabric designers - the 3 sisters, Chez Moi, Blackbird Designs and The French General just to name a few. They also stock thread, habadashery items and ribbons.

Hill Side Quilting

Hill Side Quilting

Anita Ellis of Hillside Quilting is a Professional Long Arm Quilter operating from her studio in beautiful Warrandyte in the north east of Melbourne.

You can contact her on 0430 135281 or by email atanita@hillsidequilting.com.au

Any one who takes a browse through Anita's delightful blog,

http://hillsidequilting.com.au/

will recognise her enthusiasm for and love of quilting. She delights in helping her customers achieve their vision for their quilts by offering both sound advice and creative input.

Next time you are starting a new quilt give Anita a call to book your spot in the queue and she can help you with any quilting queries so that your quilt is constructed in a way that makes the most of the quilting. Try not to think of the piecing and quilting as separate processes. Giving thought to the quilting at the planning stage will result into a finished quilt result that you will be very proud to own or give away to a well deserving recipient.

Anita's approach to quilting is one where you can discuss your requirements and any ideas that you may already have and marry these to her extensive experience of the quilting process.  She takes great care to really get to know what it is that you want and what is the best treatment for each individual quilt.

During the consultation, quilting style will be discussed as well as thread choice, wadding, backings, time frames and costings. You will leave her studio knowing how your quilt is going to be quilted, when it will be ready and how much it will cost. She always deliver on this.

Anita offers inspiration, education and encouragement to all who participate in her Domestic Machine Quilting classes and in 2012 she was selected to teach at the prestigious Australian Machine Quilting Festival in Adelaide.  Due to the overwhelming positive response from participants she will be teaching again at this Festival in 2014.

So give her a call and your lovely patchwork tops will soon be be lovely quilts.

Leanne's Quilting Service

We are very lucky to have many businesses support our Biennial Quilt Show.  Leanne of Leanne's Quilting Service is another major sponsor.

Leanne's Quilting Service 

To Leanne, of Leanne's Quilting Service , every quilt is special. She grew up sourrounded by quilts, as her mum was a foundation member of North of the Yarra Quilting Guild. Leanne started sewing in her early teens and fell in love with it. She trained and worked as a florist but when she felt like a change of career in 2002, her inspirational mum encouraged her to become a long arm quilter.

Each quilt top delivered to her studio is treated with as much care as she gives her own work. She will thoughtfully discuss all quilting options available and ensure you are happy with the choice of threads, batting and quilting design. Leanne is able to provide all over and custom quilting.

Edge-to-edge designs offer an all over pattern to suit the fabrics and quilt design you have chosen. Leanne has a large number of designs from which to select.Custom quilting is chosen when you want a more individualised quilt that allows each block, sashing  and border to be embellished with a complementary design.All Leanne's custom work is free hand and as she says, 'If I can draw it, I can quilt it.'

Leanne's work has been recognised countless times by both public voting and quilt show judges when she has worked in collaboration with her customers. In 2005 she was voted by readers of Quilting Down Under and by Bernina as the Favourite Professional Machine Quilting Service.

It is very important to Leanne that her quilting enhances your work and that you are satisfied with the end result. Many happy customers have stated that her quilting has added so much to their quilt and brought it alive.

Leanne's garden studio is located in Briar Hill and she can be contacted on 9434 5915

We ask that all NOTYQ members support Leanne both at the Quilt Exhibition and at her store
