About Us

Katipatch was opened in 2006 as a specialist patchwork and quilting
boutique to offer an unparalleled service to patchworkers and quilters in
Katikati and New Zealand. The shop is located on an avocado orchard
and is surrounded by a beautiful garden where you can wander at your
leisure. Come and enjoy the ambience. Katipatch is for destination
shoppers. If we dont have what you want, we are happy to search the
world for you.

Carol Biesiek, the owner, has been a patchworker and quilter for
about 20 years after attending classes at a craft shop when she lived in
Sydney. Once hooked, she avidly attended many other workshops to
learn as much as she could, and has made dozens of quilts, bags and
other items. Machine work is her personal interest, but she is
extremely knowledgeable about most areas of the craft.
