About me

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I'm Erica Spinks and I live in Sydney, Australia.

I'm fascinated by the written word and this has led me into the worlds of reading, librarianship and magazine writing and editing. Quite a lot of my time is spent designing, making and writing about quilts and textiles.

Pottering in my garden is one of my great pleasures and I am thrilled by the magic that I find there. I love the colours and the miracle of growth.

For six months of the year, I become quite preoccupied with the fortunes of the Sydney Swans Football Club. Cheering them in a large crowd is very cathartic!

Want to get in touch with me?
