Threads of family By KYLIE WILSON EVEN toddling around her family home as a child, fascinated by the jumble of textures and shades in her mother Sharon’s fabric stash, Wangaratta’s Beth Hulley had an eye for bright and unusual textiles. Before she could sit at the family sewing machine, Beth was encouraged by her mother to pick her favourite fabric to be made into quilts for her bed, and she said she would always pick the boldest and brightest. Now, at the young age of 27, that passion for textiles has helped her cement her skills as a quilter and craft project designer. And while her mother passed away five years ago, Beth said her spirit inspires her with every project she tackles. “She is my motivation,” Beth said. “Craft was the one thing me and mum did together. “Growing up, I always had something crafty to do. “I draw a lot of inspiration from her work,” she added, noting that she leafs through her mother’s old project scrapbooks and notes to this day. Her career has led her in several different directions, from being a wedding photographer to a stint in the army, to designing and making individualised “scarf straps” for cameras and handbags. Nowadays she combines work as a store manager at Wangaratta Spotlight with prolific designing for the company’s national project magazine, Get Creative, as well as instore project sheets. Her projects cover a wide gamut of quilting and sewing.
