BERNINA Ballito


Profile of a modern day quilter by Nadia Crous

When my mom told me she started quilting as a hobby, I was stunned. I had always pictured quilters as “ou tannies” who look like the nice old lady on the Ouma rusks boxes - not my mother who had an illustrious corporate career in banking. To picture my mother in front of a sewing machine, was something that I could not wrap my head around. Not that my mom didn't know anything about sewing. Her mother was a seamstress, and had taught all her daughters the basics of sewing. That was transferred to me so technically I, my mom's IT child, was her first student! Later on there were many others in the Shelter for Abused Women in Kuwait.

My mom had started off making small quilts for babies and using paper piecing to make animals which became a book for her first grandchild, Nina. In a relatively short space of time, she is now making the most beautiful quilts in any shape and size, one of which, I am proud to say, is gracing my bed right now. She says making quilts and giving them away is part of living her thankful life.

And now my mom has found a way to marry her brilliant business mind and her love for quilting in Bernina Dolphin Coast. A place where beginners and experienced sewers and quilters are welcome and where customers are sure to become friends! Trust me, I know my mom!

I started doing needlework at age five. At the age of twelve I made my own clothes.

My hobbies are handwork, making teddybears, quilting, making different kinds of handbags, mosaic, embroidery, etc.

I also give needlework classes and have attended courses in designing. I love knitting, crocheting, and everything that can be handmade.

BERNINA Fourways (Cedar Square)


BERNINA FOURWAYS has been the pride and joy of Estelle Scheffer and supporting staff since December 2006. The shop is synonymous with a variety of crafts, lessons and also very reputable names in quilter's circles.


And this is what new owners Cornel and husband Ruan Vermeulen intend to build and expand on.


Cornel started her association with Bernina Fourways as a Bernina 830 customer and later joined the shop as a sewing and sales consultant. The opportunity then presented itself for new ownership of the Bernina Fourways dealership and Cornel and Ruan jumped at the opportunity, now also adding a technical service dimension to the dealership.


You are invited to visit Bernina Fourways, meet this vibrant and energetic couple and become part of their plans and activities in taking Bernina Fourways to the next level of excellence.


Dealer: Cornel & Ruan Vermeulen
