About 'The Quilter's Needle'.

The Quilter’s Needle began life three years ago in the Gazebo in the front garden! However, with a large quilting machine and the beginnings of a fabric collection we soon realised we were outgrowing that space and that we needed to commandeer a room in the house. And the dining room – and the other spare room – and…

We needed more space and at the beginning of 2006 we shifted into our new premises and at last had room to move – for the moment. Of course our stock levels have grown to fill the new space with more arriving every day.

Now… we have opened up The Apple Basket which is situated in the main street of Donnybrook in the South West and it is here you can find us most days including Sunday! We have a large range of patchwork fabrics and accessories and still offer our quilting service through the shop

Helen opened her first fabric shop in 1987 in Bunbury and this soon turned into one of the first craft shops in the area selling patchwork fabric and crafty things. After 10 years she sold the shop (‘Crafty Things Country Style’) and pursued other interests. But…You just can’t keep a good woman away from the machine and here she is doing what she knows best. Quilting, buying and selling fabric and having a lot of fun along the way.

Come and visit next time you are in the area. We are always pleased to see people.
