AUGUST 2025

Spring is doing its best to oust winter and to let in the sun. Just a little bit of sun today as I make a start on making stock for my coming Summer Season. As you will have seen there have been long gaps in my adding to this website, but I should be able to keep up-to-date from now on. This past year my husband was very ill so editing a website was not on my to do list. Unfortunately Richard died a few weeks ago and I am in the process of catching up with everything that I let slip over this past year.

I do have some new styles that use new fabrics which I will photograph and add to the website over the next couple of weeks. I hope you will like them. As, with every year, I will be back at the Matakana Market in the Old Dairy Factory from 4 October. I hope to see some of you there.
All the best
Susan

Welcome to the Greenleas Handcrafts website.

 I sell only from the Matakana Market or directly from home - see the Contact Us page for details.

 All items are made by me in my workroom in Snells Beach from very good quality cotton.

The Art Quilts are original one-off pieces. They are sometimes appliqued, sometimes they are collage with beading, painting, or  layered fabrics. Every one is unique and has a sleeve at the back for the insertion of a rod for hanging.

 The Children's Play Quilts are also individual and colourful made from hardwearing cotton. They are all fully  machine washable.

Kiwiana tableware (table mats and table runners) and wallhangings are attractive, lightweight but hardwearing.

I look forward to seeing you at the Old Dairy Factory, Matakana Market .
