Hi, I’m Melissa. I live in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, in an area of incredible beauty and wild nature. I started sewing as a child, like so many of us in this generous quilty community. I’m a longarm quilter. My path was via industrial sewing… to patternmaking the old fashioned way with pencils and brown paper… to domestic sewing… to patchwork… to longarm freehand… to longarm computer guided… to CS7 Gammill software… to digitizing software that translates to other formats… to falling in love with designing pantographs for longarm quilters. I love both simple and intricate designs, and am looking forward to sharing them with you at The Panto Shop! I’m very flattered to be with such great company here. I’d love to see your finished quilts, please share and tag me!
