Sewn and Quilted

Sewn and Quilted

92 Whitehorse Rd,
Blackburn  Vic 3130

My name is Carol Nicholls, and I am the proud owner of Sewn and Quilted. My studio and website were launched in early 2012 and this was certainly a very busy and exciting time. Owning a studio and being able to introduce and enthuse students to new skills through teaching was something I thought I would only ever be dreaming could happen, but here I am!

Sewn and Quilted is located in Blackburn, which is in the leafy eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. My patchwork journey started when my husband, four children and I lived in the USA from 1996 - 1998. I enrolled for a beginner's class while we were living there, and my passion for patchwork has only ever grown since then. I am proudly addicted to the world of patchwork and quilting, and can't imagine my life without it! Apart from the beautiful quilts, wall hangings, bags etc you create, the other fantastic benefit is all of the like-minded friends you make and the wonderful people you meet along the way.

As you look through my store you will no doubt note that I particularly enjoy working with Reproductions Fabrics, Japanese Fabrics, and bright, happy children's prints. I love the more traditional styles of quilt making, however often dabble in other bits and pieces as well. Like many of us, there just aren't enough hours in the day, days in a year, or years in a lifetime to sew all we wish we could make!

I truly hope you experience as much pleasure and satisfaction from your patchwork and quilting as I do.

The Patchwork Spirit is the name of the range of original patterns that have been exclusive to Patchworks Unlimited.  These innovative designs are written for easy understanding and are designed to be user friendly and achievable to all levels.  Gael and Pauline are especially aware of making their ideas accessible to their customers in places not necessarily adjacent to a patchwork shop for help or supplies.The designs range from fairly simple and easy, to quite complex and sophisticated, but the instructions are always step by step for ease of application. Their range of original patterns has expanded to include screen printed panels .  These are their own artworks, and are being hand printed by them as they are not available commercially. 

Patchworks Unlimited has an excellent programme of interesting classes and teaching for all levels of patchwork expertise.
