JILL
I have owned Cottage Flair for the past 20+ years and my passion for patchwork and quilting keeps growing every day! I love fabric, colour, textiles and girly things, my business and inspiring people to give patchwork a go.
At Cottage Flair, we are continually striving to create fresh ideas, a place that is fun and has a warm friendly atmosphere and helpful service. I have a team of wonderful girls who are very dedicated to Cottage Flair.
I have 9 beautiful grandchildren some of whom I am sure will follow in their granny’s footsteps with sewing! My Pfaff sewing machine is my ‘best friend’ and I also enjoy gardening, knitting, clothes, jewelry, and my home life.
SHELLEY
I am married with three children and grandmother to four.
I have sewn for as long as I can remember with learning to sew on my nana’s sewing machine and making dolls clothes.
In later years I moved on to dressmaking for myself and others. Since Cottage Flair was born I have made many different crafts and over the last eight years have done lots of quilt making which has been very rewarding.
TRACY
Having only dabbled in patchwork many years ago I was reintroduced to the craft in 2008 when I was asked to join a quilting group who met on Thursday evenings at Cottage Flair. I love bright bold textiles and vintage fabrics and I have a passion for reclaiming and up-cycling projects.
I joined the team at Cottage Flair in 2009 bringing along my skills of financial and office administration as well as social media, POS and website development and management .
