Welcome to my website. Take a look around, I hope you find some ideas that inspire you. Let me tell you a little bit about how "Vanita's Quilting Services" came to be.

I have a background in IT and have worked in the industry for 28 years. It is a high pressure job with constant demands and tight dead-lines. Working full time, with three kids, I needed a creative outlet to keep my sanity! So I tried many things before I became a quilt-a-holic.

I started my quilting journey 10 years ago with small cot quilts and then progressed to large bed quilts. I had tried other creative outlets, pottery, folk art, painting, but I find that quilting is where my heart lies. I love everything about it from choosing fabric to piecing and quilting. I am passionate about free motion quilting and dream up new designs constantly. So I have decided to offer my services to other quilters like me.

Many quilters like to piece quilts but struggle with the next steps - making the quilt sandwich with batting, basting and then quilting. Often 'in-the-ditch quilting' is all they can muster up because they feel 'free-motion quilting' is beyond them. Let's be honest, this can get boring very quickly! So that's where I come in. I can teach you free-motion quilting using your own domestic sewing machine. Many quilters put this in the too-hard basket, have tried and get frustrated and have given up on learning this skill. I can teach you to relax into it, watch you and help you get into the rhythm of it, one-on-one. This is so much better than watching a DVD! So have a go, give me a call and let's discuss it.

If however, you've decided that this is definitely not for you, I can offer you a variety of quilting designs to complete your quilt. I can quilt an all over edge to edge design or offer you custom quilting. Check out some of my designs, these are just a sample of what's possible. We can discuss it and come up with something that suits your quilt.

Un-finished quilts (UFO's) - have you got a work of art in progress or sitting in the back of a cupboard? Let Vanita's Quilting Services help you finish them, so that you can display and enjoy them.

Thank you Vanita for the wonderful quilting you did on my "Outback Adventure" quilt. Your quilting showed up the beautiful borders on my quilt. My father-in-law was ecstatic to receive it.

I became a grandmother for the 1^st time earlier this year & decided I would like to make a quilt for the pending arrival of this much anticipated baby. Vanita was so helpful right from the very inception of the idea, from assisting in guiding me in choosing the design, to the appropriate colours & patterns on the material (not as easy as I thought it would be with so much choice to select from). She was most patient with in helping me with any problems/queries I had when following the chosen pattern. I am very grateful to the assistance provided by Vanita & am proud to have been able to complete the chosen quilt which was received at the baby shower with comments from others such as: I can’t believe you made this? Did you really make this?

Thanks so much Vanita!

"When I saw theYuki bag I straight away fell in love with it. The design of the bag is great as you don't have to button it to close the mouth. Beautiful Japanese fabric gives that authentic look about the Yuki bag. I love it so much that I carry it with me every where I go for a short stroll. It is just a nice size to fit a wallet, a mobile, a mirror, a lipbalm and have quite a but of space left for other things. I received some great comments about the Yuki bag from many people! I am very happy with my Yuki bag."
