My name is Lee-Anne Douglas and I am a quilt maker and mixed media textile artist.
My husband and I made the big "tree change" from the Mornington Peninsula several years ago. We now call our hobby farm in Ballarat Vic home. We share 20 glorious acres with our very spoilt toy cavoodle called Bonny, 20 sheep, a couple of alpacas we refer to as "the Boys" and a menagerie of beautiful wild birds, kangaroos, rabbits and other wildlife. I am a self taught machinist with no formal training... cutting my teeth on dressmaking and quilting over 25 years ago. I still create beautiful quilts and more recently I have discovered free motion embroidery and found my niche creating mixed media textile art pieces... most of which are available for purchase exclusively here in my store.

I am inspired by our beautiful surroundings here in the Australian bush, but also the seaside, where we lived for many years. I occasionally work from photographs, but most often, my textile art originates from my own imagination which I intuitively build on as I create my one of a kind, mixed media textile art pieces. My quilts are always one of a kind. I don't usually follow a pattern, preferring instead to create my own designs and improvise as I go. I love both the vintage look and modern style of quilts.

As a mixed media textile artist, I use lots of re purposed fabrics including, but not limited to, printed and hand dyed cottons, antique lace, tulle, organza, wool, multiple threads and yarns in different weights and textures, paints and dyes, stamps, stencils, glass beads, crystals, buttons... anything I can stitch down really!! I always use 100% cotton fabrics and batting when making my quilts and love mixing things up with different prints and colours.
