About Magik Quilter
Kathleen loves fabric. She has a huge selection of fabrics sourced from quilt shops, the internet, vintage shops and interior designers. She loves to manipulate fabric into quilts, throws, table runners/wall hangings, bags, wraps, etc. Her particular love is to use upholstery fabrics ( brocades, velvets, silks) in her throws. These are very tactile and every throw is a one off creation. She is also determined to save as many sample books as is humanly possible from landfill and uses a lot of quite rare vintage fabric samples in her throws and table runners.
After all her friends (and lots of strangers) admired her designs, she decided to launch this blog to showcase her quilts and the stories behind them. If you’ve fallen in love with a particular quilt, you can contact Kathleen to talk about the design process, or to have one made.
Kathleen has sewn all her life and took up quilting and patchwork in 2000. She also loves reading and collecting vintage jewellery and china. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her family.
Early in 2008 Kathleen decided to answer all comments on the comment page of the blog , rather than emailing as she had previously done. Please remember to check in there regularly as her reply may not always directly follow yours in your comment section of your dashboard. After observing her son’s blog she realised that it is good to have a conversation with her readers and amongst her readers. Kathleen thanks you for taking the time to read her blog and assures you that she returns the privilege.
Hi Kathleen, sorry to get back to you so later, everything was so hectic this weekend. But yes, the blogroll add is fine, you’re on mine too! =)
I don’t know why the projects blog was coming up, I put shetypes as my default so that’s wierd. In terms of Christmas, I totally celebrate it, I’m a Christian (that’s perfectly fine to ask, hehe); but since the wedding was consuming all of our free time (and money), we have sort of opted out of Christmas this year, too bad.

I love quilts. I have made a couple, but they didn’t turn out that great. I have a “Crazy” quilt that my great grandmother made for my father about 50 years ago. It is priceless.
Have a great day!

I came here from Sulz’s blog as I thought you must be a heck of a nice person! Just to say hi. Frankly sewing is not my interest at all but I admire artists and you are one.

Thanks Nita I told my son about you as he is a writer, he thinks he remembers you from the forums. He is CJWriter and like you also writes poetry. You may have known who he is from my comments on Sulz blog. It is great to chat with people from such differing countries and of such varied ages and interests. I try to read other than craft blogs so that I meet people of all kinds.
