New Quilts

I am trained as a designer and always have masses of ideas for new work. I will never have enough time to make all the quilts I design. I work quickly, always creating something new, always finding easier ways of making my quilts. I love working with bright and vibrant colours. I always use natural fabrics – cotton, wool, felt and linen

Creatve Your Own Quilts With me!

Travel and Inspiration

I travel extensively for pleasure and my teaching. Most of the quilts I make are inspired by my travels. I take lots of photos and use these as inspiration for my quilts. I love to inspire others to start quilting and to give ideas for new work. “Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious”.

Teaching Trips

I love to travel around the world and explore different cultures, meeting new people and teaching and passing on my skills. Travel with me and a small, friendly group to exotic locations for hands-on craft, textile, and travel sketching tours. Discover new cultures, create beautiful art, and make lifelong friends on an unforgettable journey.
