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!

HAPPENINGS: PATTERNS NOW AVAILABLE!

  • ​REAL TWEETS - A PDF pattern is available in my Etsy shop (button below). For my kiwi quilters,  physical copies 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!

What's been happening lately?

Not all of my quilt patterns are super complicated, and some of them can be used for other purposes.  
This EASY TWEET pattern with three little birds can be made in just a couple of hours.  This version has been blinged.  It would work on a cushion or bag.
The HAVE A HEART RACCOON cushion features a good sized motif that might be used in many different ways.  
​
Here's the TWITCH block featured on the back of my denim shirt.  One of my quilt friends have also made her own version of TWITCH. (Hare-y backs don't look so bad.)
​
These are all currently listed in my shop. 

Then JUST because playing is fun...

 Remember these shoe?  Well why not a matching bag? A decent  argument can be made that the birds belong everywhere!!!

          Designs for HAWAII

When 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.
