My name is Dorothy McCorkelle and I have been sewing most of my life and have been making quilts & sewing patchwork for many years. My children learnt to count using a tape measure! I am married and have 2 sons & a daughter, 2 grandchildren, 1 girl & 1 boy. I live in Griffith NSW, on small acreage, a dynamic rural town in the Riverina. We grew pistachios & apricots & now have native trees planted.
Most of my quilts are given to family members, others have been commissioned and also some have been donated to various causes. I enjoy sewing & creating crafts and it also keeps me busy in retirement, ( I worked in administration), meeting some wonderful people along the way. Recently I started going to local markets again with my crafts. I make several types of patchwork bags and styles, using 100% cotton that can be sourced to where it was grown. Fabrics are sourced from Small businesses Australia wide. Other projects I make are, small colourful quilts (various sizes & prices) some I quilt myself others I send to a machine quilter.
