Welcome to QuiltFever with:
DEBBY WILLIAMS - Fibre Artist/teacher
Hello and welcome to my site!
In these pages you will find out what classes are currently available,
a gallery of some of my work along with some blogs and links to
inspiring sites. Come explore with me!
Texas born, I've lived in New Zealand for over thirty years, having
learned my craft by the side of some of New Zealand's most amazing
quilters.
These quilters have taught me to trust my colour instincts, try new things and most of all - that quilters are truly some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
With all these years working with quilts, my love of design and creation just grows! It is a pleasure to be able to share here some tips and ideas, and would love to hear from you on your quilting journey!

THE NEWEST PATTERN! Introducing THE BEETLES!
|
THE BEETLES quilt- about 65" x 80"
Kinda think this would make a perfect little boy quilt! Did you know that beetles make up one fifth of all known living organism? Apparently one in four animal alive on the planet is a beetle! Who knew? I'm no entomologist, but found these little guys truly fascinating. A little research, looking at a lot of pictures of real beetles, and the whimsical quirky fabric designs were on their way- (with quite a bit of artistic liberty taken). Like most of my creations in the past few years, this is a raw edge applique quilt. This pattern is available on Etsy -linked below. |
HAPPENINGS: PATTERNS NOW AVAILABLE!
|
REAL TWEETS - A PDF pattern is available in my Etsy shop (button below). For my kiwi quilters, physical copies of either of these quilts may be purchased directly, please email me.
HARE THEY ARE! - This pattern is also available in my Etsy shop, as individual blocks or as the entire quilt. This is created with raw-edge appliqué method with free motion outline. Like REAL TWEETS, there are lots of pages with thorough colored instructions. |

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW
The 2024 Waikato Quilt Symposium was a great adventure with many friends meeting up to celebrate quilting. The exhibition and merchant area were combined keeping the area bustling. Congrats on the team for hosting a good time. Below are photos from the classes I taught. Wonderful ladies who worked hard and did a terrific job!

Not all of my quilt patterns are complicated, and some of them can be used for other purposes.

Totes and jackets...
My creations seem to be in batches, as I get onto birds, flowers, critters, and all the different ways to use them...in this case with totes and jackets? This addiction to pattern making is real.

Designs for HAWAIIWhen traveling a little further afield and teaching it's nice to feature the local wildlife. For my 2025 Hawaii teaching experience, I've developed two patterns with their very own native birds to create and mount on canvas.
