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.

Violet Craft is a designer who brings modern artistry into quilting, with patterns that are as inspiring as they are achievable. Her celebrated Abstraction Series features striking geometric designs — from landscapes to animals — that let quilters create bold, contemporary works of art. These quilts are perfect for anyone wanting to make a statement piece that’s both creative and deeply personal.
Alongside her abstractions, Violet has developed a stunning range of English Paper Piecing (EPP) patterns. These hand‑pieced designs invite you to slow down and enjoy the mindful rhythm of stitching, while producing intricate, eye‑catching results. Whether you’re after a portable project or a meditative way to connect with your craft, her EPP range offers something truly special.
With clear instructions and thoughtful design, Violet’s patterns encourage quilters to explore new techniques while feeling supported every step of the way.
