About Us

Welcome to Augusta Quilts, where my passion for quilting meets craftsmanship to create timeless pieces that warm both the body and soul. I'm Gwenn Murphy, though some also call me Aggie, and I run Augusta Quilts from sunny South Africa.

I founded Augusta Quilts in 2017 as a way to escape the relentless grind of corporate life. After years as an IT professional, I found myself caught in an exhausting cycle of burnout. What started as a simple ruler label has since blossomed into a thriving haven for quilting enthusiasts.

My quilting journey actually began long before that—back in 2007—when my mother gently introduced me to the craft. But sewing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, from making my own clothes as a teenager to discovering the intricate artistry of quilt-making. Every thread woven into Augusta Quilts reflects my love for the craft and the years of experience I've poured into it.

Today, Augusta Quilts is more than just a store; it's a celebration of traditional craftsmanship in a digital age. I offer a curated selection of quilt patterns designed to inspire and challenge quilters at every stage of their journey. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, my patterns are made to spark creativity and bring joy to the quilting process.

In addition to quilt patterns, I also offer a longarm quilting service, helping fellow quilters turn their pieced tops into finished masterpieces. Whether you’re looking for edge-to-edge designs or something custom, my goal is to bring your vision to life with precision and care.

I truly believe in the transformative power of creativity. Whether you're an experienced quilter or just starting out, I invite you to explore my collection and experience the joy of bringing beauty and warmth into the world—one stitch at a time. Join me as we continue to weave dreams into reality, stitch by stitch, quilt by quilt.
