The Practical Quilter
The Practical Quilter is a new concept shopping experience for the New Zealand Quilter with the sole focus of offering the supplies and accessories needed to make amazing quilts, bags or other textile items.

Kia ora and welcome to our Material Girlfriends category here at The Practical Quilter. This talented designer duo from the US is known for creating quilt patterns that are fun, friendly and full of personality. Fun fact: the “girlfriends” are actually sisters who grew up sewing together, and their love of colour, clever construction and a good laugh shines through in every design they create.
In this collection you’ll find a mix of striking quilts, playful seasonal projects and patterns that make brilliant use of precuts. Their instructions are clear, their designs are achievable, and their style brings a lovely spark to any sewing room.
Have a browse through the range, and if there’s a Material Girlfriends pattern you’re after that isn’t listed, just get in touch. We’re always happy to help track down exactly what you need.
