With a combined background of craft, printing and publishing, it was a natural progression for Deborah to move into the role of running her own publishing business in the late 1990s.
Since then Creative Living Media (formerly Pride Publishing) has grown at an impressive pace, producing high-quality magazines and books and complementary events and workshops for crafters.
Deborah has four children and divides her time between business and family activities and, when time allows, quilt making.

Anyone who knows Lorrraine’s story knows of the passion and drive and love she has for world of patchwork and quilting. Since she started quilting in 1977, she quickly became one of the top Australian tutors, first teaching samplers, then specialising in clothing – particularly vests and jackets. She was also on the steering committee for the beginning of the NSW guild, along with a handful of veterans. When she moved to the Gold Coast in early 1984, she started a business importing American patchwork books, then fabrics, then other accessories. Simultaneously she had a patchwork shop on the Gold Coast for eight years. Lorraine was a popular presenter at the Stitches & Craft Shows during the nineties - sharing her new passion of rotary cutting, and chain stitching. As one of the pioneers of this method in Australia, she introduced many new quilters to the simplified joys of patchwork and quilting.
After moving back to Sydney Lorraine took up a position with an Australian quilting magazine, where she was the editor for more than six years, continuing to share her passion with quilters all over the country.
In 2005 Lorraine became the Book Publisher at Creative Living Media, and more recently, has taken over the role of Editor of Down Under Quilts.
Throughout this long career in patchwork she has been positive and proactive, and these qualities have meant she makes an impact on the industry at large and her circle of influence. Lorraine’s 31 year patchwork journey have now culminated to be shared through the pages of Down Under Quilts, and from that we can all grow and learn, and foster our love of quilting.
