Kathy Adams has been a quilter for more than 20 years and after many years of domestic machine quilting, decided to buy a long arm quilting machine in 2003 and KoolKat Quilting was born.  KoolKat Quilting has grown steadily, and now has two computerised Statler machines and a Sweet Sixteen which Kathy uses for creative pieces. Geoff Adams now works full-time in the business and does the majority of the edge-to-edge quilting.  KoolKat offers excellent, quality products such as Kathy's original quilt patterns, as well as a prompt and efficient machine quilting service.  Below are some testimonials from our many hundreds of satisfied customers:

• Hi Kathy and Geoff. It was lovely to meet you both and we all really enjoyed Kathy’s presentation. Unfortunately I didn’t get a really good look at the quilts as I was behind them but the peeps I did have were fantastic. The ohs and ahs from the crowd indicated they really enjoyed them too. We are all too sleep/energy deprived now to think about another event but we will keep you on our list of vendors if we manage to get another CCC off the ground. I am glad you had a good time and have other shows booked. It has been wonderful to work with you and I really appreciate the efficient and professional manner in which you have handled all our communications. Cheers, Lorraine at the beach at Toogoom Qld.

• Hi Kathy and Geoff, Just wanting to let you know that my quilts arrived this morning and I am absolutely delighted. I can promise myself never to carry around un-quilted quilts again. I am even more thrilled as this morning I found the left over grapes fabric so I can do a matching binding for both the green/purple quilts. I will be in town tomorrow to get something to bind the bears as that is my first mission with a first birthday looming in June. What gets better? My daughter-in-law has been out this morning and she is excited about her stash that lives at my house so we may get some of that completed someday. Thank you for such prompt service as it has given me no time to lose my enthusiasm, Meredith via Ipswich, SE Qld.

My brother and his girlfriend just loved it and it was the rave of the baby shower. I have attached a photo of another quilt that was made by brother-in-law's girlfriend. She wanted to learn patchwork so I taught her this quick simple 'rail fence; design. Could you please quilt and bind this quilt for her so she can have the pleasure of using it in her home?  Olivia, Western Qld .

   

• Kathy and Geoff, I have received my quilt and it is fantastic. I really like it and the charcoal quilting and the backing fabric are just right.I will have no hestitation in sending you more quilts although it won't happen often only because I have very limited time to quilt. However I do know the next one will not be so big! And I will be passing your name on to as many people as I can.  Thanks again, I am really impressed and appreciate your work.  Cheers Liz, North West Qld.
