Hello and welcome! I am Sandy Cousins, and Shiralee Stitches is the home of my antique-inspired patchwork & quilting designs.

I am very excited to have just launched my latest BOM program Double Delight, a gorgeous English Paper Pieced double wedding ring design with the most beautiful broderie perse variation…..

What else is new………..

A bit about me and Shiralee Stitches…..

My designs reflect my passion for all the elements and techniques to be found in antique textiles and quilts, especially those originating in the UK and Europe…..the fabrics, colours, motifs, and especially the handwork techniques of English Paper Piecing, applique and broderie perse.

I am super-lucky to work out of my lovely custom-built studio and shop space on our peaceful family cattle property in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia where I not only design quilts but also offer a longarm quilting service on my Bernina Q24.

I endeavour to provide inspiration to fellow quilters, and hope I can assist you in your own journey to bring one of my designs to life, and in doing so, create your own heirloom quilt.

Shiralee Stitches is a leader in the market for BOM quilt programs which are highly sought after, comprehensive all-inclusive programs created with the most beautiful reproduction antique and vintage fabrics. I have spent years refining the process and I am very proud of the programs delivered here at Shiralee Stitches.

Now,  grab a cuppa………and explore all that is Shiralee Stitches……I am glad you are here, and I hope you become inspired……

Sandy
