My Story

ff499b75-82d8-46fd-9158-21ff490b47a4-1.JPG

Hi, I am Candice Donaldson.

Let me tell you a little bit about my background and how I got where I am today.

 

I was born in Rhodesia and moved to South Africa as a young child. 

 

My love for sewing and knitting was kindled in primary school where we learnt to sew on hand-operated Singers and were introduced to knitting too. 

 

As a teenager, my Nana (Who was my biggest supporter yet my toughest critic) helped me refine a few of my sewing skills as well as taught me to crochet too. 

 

When I got married and became a mum to 3 boys, unfortunately, there just wasn't enough time for my love for all things sewing, and it became a side thought for many years.

 

Not until about 15 years ago when a friend asked why I didn’t give quilting a go. So after a bit of convincing, I did and my goodness was I hooked. 

 

Fast forward a few years and the opportunity arose to buy over a shop full of quilting stock and I jumped at it.  Through this venture, I have met some amazing people and made lifelong friends. 

In March 2018 I became a Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff and Singer accredited dealer which has been an amazing journey.

 

Make sure you are following me on all of the social networks so we can stay in touch. 

Thanks for stopping by!
