Pam and Emma Jansen (Mother and Daughter) own and operate Ballarat Patchwork.
With over 30 years experience between them they feel confident to provide expert advice and friendly service.

We opened Ballarat Patchwork in November 2002, and over this time our business has grown enormously, as has our stock level, and we have many regular customers. Our shop is overflowing with fabulous fabrics, including Kaffe Fassett, Amy Butler, 1930s reproduction, a wonderful range of Japanese fabrics and lots spots and stripes!

Our extensive class list includes visiting tutors such as Trish Harper, Deborah Dorward, Judy Newman and many more. We also run regular Beginner classes, in our large, bright classroom. I am an accredited teacher of the "Thimblelady" technique of pain free hand quilting, and offer regular classes in this technique.

We have a large selection of our own patterns designed mostly by Emma, (whose background in textile design is certainly apparent), and many other patterns by other designers. There are books galore to inspire you, as well as all your quilting and patchwork needs, including a large range of batting on the roll. Including Hobbs and Matilda's Own.

We are a "specialist" patchwork shop, and look forward to helping you in your fabric selection or quilting project.

Happy Patching,
Pam Jansen
