Welcome ! Constantine Quilts is a home based business that was established in 1996 to cater to quilters of all ages and experiences. I initially commenced teaching at home on our farm in the beautiful area of the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. This was to encourage young mums to learn this wonderful craft. Here in my area it is not easy to attend classes with the cost of childcare or babysitters, so mum's were welcome to bring their preschoolers with them whilst they sew & learn. From this I have developed my own patterns
and started stocking notions and books. Most of these patterns have now been published in the Australian National
Quilting magazines, Canadian & French publications and by That Patchwork Place in the USA
as well. I continue to design a new project every couple of months
for these magazines. To assist with the machine quilting business I have developed a variety of No-Frills™ templates/rulers for use with commercial quilting machines. These templates are "No-Frills" 1/4" thick clear acrylic with no lines etched on them, packaging or instructions. However a number of tips, suggestions for use and some instructions are included on this website for users. The prices reflect the 'no frills' nature of these gadgets!! After teaching longarm machine quilting in the USA in April 2005, I fell in love with the A1-Elite Longarm quilting machine and now own one of these and am able to offer these to Australian customers as another choice in finding the 'right' quilting machine to suit the individual!

Quizzles™
are quilt patterns on CDRom. Each Quizzle has full instructions for three
different quilts. The quilts are all based on the same block used in
different settings, sizes and layouts. By viewing your quizzle on your
computer you can see full colour pictures, photographs and diagrams all the
way through the programme, (not just a colour picture on the cover of a
black and white pattern). You can choose to read and stitch from your
computer, print out in full colour or print in black and white any or all
parts of the instructions. Quizzles™
have a unique interactive feature allowing you to customize your own version
of our quilts. Use a colour palette to choose your preferred colour scheme
and colour style. You have a choice of clear colours, country colours,
pretties, brights and muted colours. Have a play and come up with as many
versions as you like. If you need some assistance visit the gallery
to see some of our other variations which may get you inspired. Once you
have chosen your colours for a particular quilt and saved them, all the
instructions, diagrams and requirements will reflect the changes. Print out
your new requirements page to take shopping, then begin your quilt. Return
to our original version anytime or make further changes as many times as you
like. It couldn’t be easier to create your own unique masterpiece. As
an added bonus we have included a quilt crossword puzzle to do in your
‘spare time’. A sample of the puzzle is on the puzzle
page. For some fun,
games & giveaways you can also visit & join our Quizzle community over at our
Daily Quizzler Blog!
