SEPTEMBER 2026

Hello Everyone, spring is here at last with welcome sun after a very wet winter here in Snells Beach. It is also nearly time for me to return to the Matakana Market and to take up my place in my corner of the Old Dairy Factory and be ready to greet my customers both old and new. I have been busy this winter sewing new stock to top up the items I sell plus a few new items just for fun - some little wall hangings with Heart appliques still in the Kiwiana theme. They could also be used as table centres or mats.

I intend to have some paintings available again after a number of years not offering any for sale. Acrylic on canvas will be available from the market, not online but I will have some watercolour paintings with mat surrounds available online only.

As always I look forward to meeting my customers from all over New Zealand and the World from 3 October 2026.

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 .
