I've been meaning to start this blog for quite some time. After many years I am restarting my business patchwork and quilting business, Crystalbrook Cottage. I started this business a few years ago but found at the time, as a single parent, it wasn't bringing in as much income as I'd hoped and I went into full time employment, therefore not having time (sadly) to keep the business running.
During this time though I did learn a lot about running a small business, sold some patterns and even had a pattern published in my favourite quilting magazine, Homespun, which you can still access, called It's the Simple Things.
I am so glad to have the opportunity now to return to this business and make it into something even more special than before. I hope to get back to designing patterns and selling products through my online shop (opening soon), and using this blog to provide a source of information and inspiration to fellow quilters.
I am also happy to report my recent title of Area Quilt Queen, Melbourne, for Australian charity BlanketLovez which distributes handmade quilts to sick and traumatised children.
Of course, I hope this blog will be so much more than just quilting... here I hope to share my daily life, my favourite things, recipes I make for my family, home making tips, family creations, interests and adventures.
Won't you come and join in our adventures?
Yours in Stitches
