Welcome to Breakaway Designs -  owned by Anita Lorimer, designer, quilter and artist, committed to sharing Australia’s beautiful flora & fauna, unique landscapes and the joy of life.

​

Designs produced by Anita are influenced by her love of life, Australia, and modern aesthetics.  Having spent a large proportion of her life in either rural or remote outback areas this was a natural progression.

“There is something special about the vast contrasts we have in our beautiful country, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to not only see it but to experience it.  This respect and love of our beautiful flora and fauna, and unique landscapes inspire my work.” Anita Lorimer 2020

I have always loved textiles, and discovering quilting was like a light bulb moment.  I quickly discovered that I loved creating my own designs.  Fast forward to now, I not only have the delight of designing and making the quilt, but also seeing what others create from the pattern.

This has expanded to now include fabric ranges with Devonstone Collection, with my first range, Quilt Wizardry 101, available in shops May 2025 .  To read more about my fabric ranges click here.

I occasionally do limited runs of hand screen printed designs and hand dyed fabrics.  All are lovingly created on 100% high quality cotton ready for you to create something special with.  These will pop up on my Instagram or website when I have some.
