Patchwork Expressions is a start up business specialising in patchwork patterns and fabric design.  I am hoping to create awareness of my brand of patchwork fabrics so that I can continue designing new collections. 

MY STUDIO

I have come from a working backgraound of retail and customer service.  I have always had a creative flair and decided to try my hand at a business centred around a much loved craft, when I could no longer work in a retail store environment due to chronic back pain.

This project is designed to fund a collection of 100% cotton patchwork fabrics which will then be sold with some proceeds being donated to the Australian Mytochondrial Disease Foundation (AMDF). 

 LAURA COLLECTION IN PROGRESS 

Mytochondrial disease effects the nervous system and muscles making everyday activities (which most of us take for granted) very difficult for sufferers.  My dear friend Laura has suffered from this difficult, painfull and frustrating disease for many years.  It is quite disheartening that little is known about this disease and how to treat the symptoms which become progressively worse as time goes on.  Please click on the foundation link above to learn more about the disease and help raise awareness.

 FANCY FLIGHT COLLECTION FAT QTR PACK

As a patchwork and fabric designer, I intend to raise $6000 to cover the costs of designing test swatches, printing fabric bolts and creating samples to sell to the public.  The quilting community is a very generous, sharing and friendly community and I hope this project will be received well.  To see more of my fabrics and patchwork please take a look at the following links.
