About

My name is Becky and I’m a passionate patchworker. I teach a patchwork class at a local quilt shop here in Townsville and I love seeing what my students can achieve.

My Gran was a beautiful quilter and was instrumental in setting up patchwork groups in her hometown before supplies were as readily available as they are now. She learnt to patchwork using cardboard templates and scissors, rather than the rulers and rotary cutters that we have these days! I had always wanted to learn from her, but I didn’t have the opportunity before we lost her to dementia.

I spent many years in small regional towns, and struggled to access any kind of craft supply locally, let alone gorgeous fabric and fun tools and notions.

I’ve been watching the rise in popularity of subscription boxes, and the idea for Black Cat Quilt Co was born.

My aim is to find lovely fabric and great tools for you.
