Australian Fabric Designer: Leesa Chandler

Guest Speaker and Pop-Up Shop, Leesa Chandler, spoke of her quilting journey that led to her ‘Under the Australian Sun’ fabric range. She shared with us several quilts that have been made in different colour ways to demonstrate her love of rich colours, panels and metallic prints. An insight into the production of fabric saw ‘head cards’, and an unusual ombre / colour wash. Leesa presented a variety of bags that showcased the versatility of her fabric range. Mirrors, scarves and a special tea blend all feature her distinct flair for extending her brand. With the move into the ‘Textile Pantry’ in Braeside, Leesa is about to launch her new range of fabrics named ‘Melba’.
