Welcome to Giddygoat Patchwork Sewing Studio!  I am so excited that you have decided to visit my website! About Me - well, my name is Gerardine Cahill, and I love everything about patchwork and quilting.  I mostly make quilts, but I also like to make smaller projects too.  I come from a large family, and we are all happiest when we are being creative.  As well as patchwork and quilting, I also like to knit, cross stitch, embroider, swim, walk, jog and read! I am the mother of 4 amazing children (two of which have flown the coop), and the wife of a super husband.
My sewing workshop, Giddygoat Patchwork Sewing Studio, is located in beautiful county Clare in Ireland.  It is a bright, airy space with lots of windows to let the sunshine in throughout the day.  I love to spend time here.  It is my happy place.
I run patchwork and quilting classes, as well as various workshops here at my studio.  These classes are fun, welcoming and sociable, as well as super productive.  I am so grateful for these classes, as I get to share my passion for this craft, but also because I have met the most amazing women who I am privileged to know and spend time with.
I also run children’s sewing classes here at Giddygoat Patchwork Sewing Studio.  These are such fun!  We introduce children to sewing – some start as young as 7 yrs!  The kids are amazing and definitely keep us on our toes! It is so lovely to see the pleasure they get out of sewing and making, and then proudly displaying their hand crafted projects!
I also have my own line of patterns – to suit beginners and those with more experience. These come either as a pattern only, or as a kit, complete with instructions, templates, materials etc.  And to make it as user friendly as possible, most of the kits come with access to a video tutorial so you can follow me as I construct the pattern – making your project very easy to put together.
I hope my website gives you some inspiration and prompts you to be creative.  Have fun!
