Although Cinzia White made her first quilt in 1984, a gift for her future husband Paul, she had no idea at that stage of all of the finer details that were needed to make a 'proper' quilt. That quilt was made using the 'try this it should work' technique and although it was a much loved gift she has since learnt and taught many skills which she utilizes in her ever increasing collection of quilts.

In 1987 she completed her first quilt class, a hand made sampler, and from this has progressed and created several award winning quilts.

Cinzia has had numerous patterns published in Down Under Quilts, Patchwork and Quilting (Australia) and Patchwork and Stitching and regularly teaches classes in her local area and throughout Australia.

Although favoring complicated hand pieced and hand quilted designs Cinzia has also designed numerous popular machine pieced quick quilts. Her love of scrap, or dislike of too much uniformity in fabric, has lead to a range of so called Scrooge Quilts, which utilizes the leftovers from her larger quilts.
