About Me
My name is Toni Trott and I have been involved in sewing and various handicrafts for over 40 years starting with knitting and sewing outfits for my dolls when I was in primary school. I then progressed to sewing, knitting and crocheting clothes for myself and my mother. Then came my experimentation with macramé and leatherwork in my "hippy" years. I worked for several years in advertising as a "paste-up artist" before the days of computers and desktop publishing. This was followed by a period of painting and decorating ceramics in a Brisbane manufacturing outlet. I then worked as a bookkeeper however I never gave up my love of handcrafts.
Back in the 1980's a friend of mine used to make her own quilts which I greatly admired but there was no way I was going to cut hundreds of little hexagons out with a pair of scissors then hand sew them together. As much as I liked the look of her quilts, patchwork was not for me. Or so I thought.
Then along came the rotary cutter.
I was re-introduced to patchwork in 2005 and this time I was hooked. My next challenge was to try and quilt these king sized patchwork creations on a domestic sewing machine. I found that it was NOT the easiest thing to do. Hand quilting was not for me either so within a few months I purchased an APQS Millennium hand-guided longarm quilting system. Now I can help YOU finish YOUR quilt tops.
