      Designed & Crafted in the Southern Highlands of NSW

      Narelle Byrne brings fifty years of dedicated quilting expertise to her work, mastered over decades of passion, refinement, and timeless design. This limited-edition series marks her final signature collection — a celebration of structure, pattern, and enduring craft excellence.

      "My nan taught me to quilt when I was a girl. I made quilts and runners for years, until a woman at the local show asked if I could make her something for her laundry — something too pretty to shove in a corner. That was the first basket. I never sold them; I gave them to the people I loved. These are the last."

      — Narelle Byrne, Southern Highlands, NSW

      Why This Basket

      Six Things You Won't Find on a Printed Basket

      Every detail below is the result of fifty years of making the same thing well, and refusing to cut corners on any of it.

      ◆ Construction

      Real 3-Layer Quilted Build

      A heavy cotton-poly outer shell, a firm wadded core, and a dense feather-stitch pattern that locks all three layers together. Run your thumb across it. You can feel every stitch. That is not a print. That is real quilting.

      ◆ Motif

      Appliquéd, Not Printed

      The motifs — from the wildflowers and sunflowers to the songbirds and butterflies — are meticulously layered and stitched onto the panel for a rich, textured finish. They will not crack, peel, or wash off. A printed graphic is a picture of a design. An appliqué becomes part of the basket.

      ◆ Structure

      Stands on Its Own, Empty or Full

      No wire ring, no plastic frame. The wadded, quilted walls hold the shape themselves, so the basket sits up straight in the corner whether it's stuffed with washing or completely empty. It will not slump or collapse at the bottom.

      ◆ Handles

      Bartacked at Every Stress Point

      Doubled reinforced canvas handles, bartacked at the points where handles fail. Carry a full load of washing from room to room without the seam pulling loose. Narelle has been bartacking these handles the same way for fifty years.

      ◆ Capacity

      Roomy — 40 × 56 cm

      Deep enough for a full load of washing, a pile of blankets, a basket of wool, a heap of toys — or anything that deserves a nicer home. It holds its shape instead of caving in, and it's machine washable — gentle cold, lay flat to dry.

      ◆ Longevity

      Built to Last for Years

      A friend a bit further down the road has kept one of Narelle's baskets in the same corner for eight years — it started out holding washing and now holds her knitting and her good quilts. That is not a throwaway. It is a piece of daily life. This one is made the same way.

      ◆ Craft Note

      "The difference between a genuinely quilted basket and a printed one is obvious the moment you pick it up. A true quilted piece has loft — you can feel the premium wadding beneath the surface, and the precision stitching lifts the pattern into a raised relief that gives the fabric real body and weight. Built with a signature three-layer quilted construction and intricate layered appliqués, this collection represents the gold standard of textile craftsmanship. A piece engineered this way holds its shape and lasts for decades."
