I have been involved in patchwork and quilting since 1993,
before which my creative interest was in spinning and weaving. I attended
Otley college City and Guilds Creative Studies course in Patchwork and
quilting, completing Part 1 certificate in 1997 and Part 2 Diploma in
2000. I also hold a City and Guilds qualification in teaching for Adult
education. I enjoy the challenge
of developing new ideas for myself and my students. My quilts have been
exhibited at national shows where they have been included in the brochures
and seen on TV, with a large wall hanging, 'sail free' featured in the
book 'Quilters Guide to Pictorial Quilts' by Maggi McCormick
Gordon. My style ranges from the
traditional to innovative new directions in patchwork, including
landscapes and machine embroidery. I enjoy strong colour and bring
techniques from other disciplines into my work. I am a member of the Quilters Guild and the
Contemporary Quilt Group and the Embroiderers Guild.
From
April 2010 I am taking time out from teaching to sail and travel around the Mediterranean. |
