Welcome to Molly Dooks Cottage where you will find lots of exciting products to enhance your journey into the world of Patchwork & Quilting, Appliqué, and Embroidery, Candle wicking, Country Dolls, Mohair Teddies and more.

My name is Carol Hughes and I live in sunny Mackay in north Queensland not far from the beautiful Barrier Reef and islands.

My love of all things ‘crafty’ developed from a background of sewing after I made my first Patchwork Quilt 25 years ago – out with the dressmaking and in with my new passion. As well as quilts I love Stitchery, Country Dolls, and Mohair bears, Candle wicking, Ribbon embroidery and the list goes on.

Come on a journey of my website and enjoy our range of Fabrics, Craft Books, Patterns, Stitchery’s, Linen Embroideries, Patchwork Tools, craft buttons, Candlewick laces, and braids and trimmings.

We also stock the ‘Daylight Lamp Range’ to make sewing or reading in all light conditions a pleasure.

As a lovely addition to my little cottage I recently started stocking the beautiful ‘Australian Lemon Myrtle Fragrance’ range of Hand cream, soaps, essential oils, shower packs, air freshener etc. The fragrance is delightful and the hand cream is non greasy for sewing hands
I hope you enjoy our little Patchwork paradise and if you live in or are visiting our area please call in for a browse and a ‘Cuppa’ in our studio.
