Redgate Quilting & Redgate Socks

It is with great sadness that we share that Shane Lewis passed away peacefully at home today in Alexandra (Sunday 19th April 2026), with his wife Marlene Answer-Lewis by his side, surrounded by his dogs and family.

After a two year battle with Motor Neurone Disease, Shane faced everything with courage. While the disease took so much from him, he never lost his sense of humour, which stayed with him right through to the end.

Shane was a much loved husband, father, grandfather, friend. We are incredibly grateful that he was able to be at home, where he wanted to be, in his final moments.

We will miss him more than words can say, but take comfort in knowing he is at peace.

His funeral will be held on Friday 24th April at Murrindindi Chapel, 21 Johnston St Alexandra at 11am, followed by a burial at Alexandra Cemetery.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Shane and our family through this time. It has meant more than we can ever express.

Redgate Socks – FrankenSock
Meet the FrankenSock: a bold, colourful celebration of creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Each pair is made using leftover wool from previous sock runs, minimising waste and giving new life to beautiful fibres that would otherwise go unused.
The result? A vibrant, one-of-a-kind sock with a playful mix of colours and patterns. No two pairs are ever the same — in fact, even the left and right sock in a pair are uniquely different. You can be absolutely certain that you will never, ever find another pair like yours anywhere else in the world.
Stylish, eye-catching, and wonderfully individual, FrankenSocks are perfect for those who love colour and value truly unique pieces.
