A quilter for around 30 years, Margaret took up quilting when her airforce husband was posted to Penang in Malaysia. “I met another airforce wife while there and she’d been quilting for a little while. I just loved the work that she did... I haven’t stopped since,” says Margaret.

“My earlier quilts where all hand done. But with the changes over the years and the equipment that is available these days I do most of my quilting on my home sewing machine. But I still love to do hand quilting.”

Margaret works in the craft section of Spotlight but her main job involves teaching quilting classes on Tuesday and Saturday nights. “They have been quite successful and I am now into my third term,” she says. She also works as an integration aide at a local school.

You can find a Quilters Wall Hanging project by Margaret Conlon from Spotlight’s Braybrook store under 'Art for your walls' or the 'Quilting' collections.
