Deb Layt
I have been working in the sewing industry for over twenty years with my initial involvement over this period
of time being in the retail sales of sewing machines. I have also been involved in local and interstate craft
show demonstrations and presentations, becoming well known in the industry as a tutor on many of the
sewing disciplines.
In the past eighteen
years my main involvement has been in the area of Patchwork and Quilting. I am a
member of Victorian Quilter's Association Inc,
The Patchwork Gallery quilt group and the International Quilt
Association.
I have consistently been asked to speak at Quilt group meetings and other interested groups over the past
twelve years. Since taking on the challenge of a business that incorporates my passion I have focused on
the world of patchwork and quilting.
The Patchwork Gallery developed into a place to go for quality fabric, great knowledge and a high standard
of patchwork and quilting classes. I actively participate in quilt exhibitions and enthusiastically encourage
Australian content and a development of our own quilting identity.
Now as a home based business I focus on education
and passing on my extensive repertoire of skills.
