About Us

Just Patchwork was established by Gai and Elwin Taylor in September 1997. Demand for patchwork and quilting supplies and tuition has grown, and we relocated to larger premises in July 1999. Our front shop is the retail space and up the stairs in our back shop is our PFAFF sewing machine display as well as the busy workshop/class area.
As the business increased, we quickly ran out of space, and we were fortunate to be able to purchase an extra shop at the rear of the Centre in 2003 to use as our warehouse. This has given us the area required to store and assemble the merchandise to service the needs of our local, interstate and overseas customers. 

Our vision for "Just Patchwork" is to be able to provide our customers with the complete Patchwork solution. We have endeavoured to do this by providing:

• classes and workshops catering for beginners to advanced quilters

• an extensive range of fabrics, books and haberdashery

• expert advice on planning and coordination of patchwork projects

• sales and service on PFAFF sewing machines, SewEzi tables and "Can Quilt" quilting machines

• quilting service for completed quilt tops

Project planning and coordination becomes easy when contemplating the 2000+ bolts of fabric in store - most coordinated by colour or by design. Freestanding bays also hold special collections of fabrics. 

The highlight of the development of Just Patchwork occurred when we entered in the Microbusiness category for the inaugural "2004 Great Lakes Business Awards" 

We were extremely excited when we were awarded:

• Micro Business of the Year

• Achievement Award for 2004

• Great Lakes Business of the Year 2004

In 2006 we were awarded:

• Micro Business of the year 2006
