Alison Gardner

I live in Castlemaine, Central Victoria, Australia. My husband and I have lived here all our lives and after travelling and seeing many places, realize we live in a lovely and safe part of the world for which we are very grateful. I have 3 grown children (1 living in China) and young 4 grandchildren who are in driving distance for regular visits. I am enjoying applique very much and want to improve my skills. Needleturn is my favourite style but have had classes with excellent tutorage through 'Threadbear' to learn other techniques which I want to improve on. I am a member of the local quilting group 'Goldfields Quilters' in Castlemaine and enjoy the company and support of the ladies at the meetings and other get-togethers here and throughout Victoria. I am officially an applique convert.
