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!
During our 2020 lockdown the Aotearoa Quilt officiado Charolette Scott suggested a 100 day challenge. The rules were sparse. Just create something every day for 100 days. Post photos when you like.
It was lovely and stress relieving to have this group of quilters to participate and share experiences with, so thank you to our fearless leader!
My project was to create a whimsical bird each day and eventually the quilt REAL TWEETS was the result. Fifty pairs of birds (can you find all the matches?) five caterpillars and ten ladybirds make this a wee search and find quilt.
REAL TWEETS was displayed in the recent Great New Zealand Quilt Show in Rotarua. A PDF pattern is available in my Etsy shop (button below). For my kiwi quilters, physical copies may be purchased directly, please email me.

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!

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 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.
