Greenleas Handcrafts information blog: December 2025

  • NEW YEAR 2026
    I wish everyone a Very Happy New Year and 2026. There is so much turmoil in the world that it is important for us to remember the simple things. For me that is Quilting, designing, and Painting and attending the Matakana Market on Saturdays where I meet the most interesting visitors from around the world. Thank you for stopping by to say Hello it is always good to talk with you. So all the best for 2026 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 .
