Leanne found her way into patchwork about 12 years ago while living in the southcoast town of Bermagui.
Now living in the city of Bathurst, with husband Chris & 3 sons, Tom, Andrew & James, Leanne began creating her own designs in 1997 & Farmgate Cottage came to life.
Drawing on familiar country images such as scarecrows, chooks, cows & gardening images, Leanne's inspirations come from a variety of influences around her.
Encouraged by a group of friends that used to meet at Leanne's home for craft mornings, ladies began to ask for help & instructions on making up their projects. Needless to say Farmgate Cottage classes were born!
Leanne tutors students in many different areas of patchwork & quilting. She has regular weekly classes & also runs workshops on specific projects & designs.
