hello and welcome.

 
 

Thank you for visiting my website.

I learned quilting from a fellow ex-pat Mum, while teaching in South East Asia.

On returning to the U.K. I went looking for some classes, and jumped feet first into City and Guilds in Patchwork and Quilting, closely followed by the same in Machine Embroidery.

While completing a project for the Patchwork and Quilting course, I discovered the joys of fabric painting.

I continue to explore colouring my own fabric to use in my quilting and textile art projects, on the beautiful Heritage Coast, Vale of Glamorgan.

I wrote a book

My work has also appeared in the following publications.

  • Book cover titled "Seaside Home" showing a cozy living room corner with pillows and a seahorse plush, nautical banners, and a table setting with red and white linens and cutlery.
  • Book cover titled 'The Complete Guide to Designing and Printing Fabric' with various colorful fabric rolls displayed.
