Profile

I have been sewing as long as I can remember and quilting since my late teens.

I studied textiles at Bath and have a City and Guilds in Patchwork and Quilting. From there I taught quilting at my local Adult Education Centre and have been teaching classes to groups and in shops ever since.

Over the years my work has been featured in various British magazines including Fabrications, Popular Patchwork and Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. Quilts have appeared on the television, both here and in the US, and I have contributed to books published by New Holland and That Patchwork Place.I have had a quilt hung for the Clothworks display at Quilt Market in the US and more recently designed projects for Makower UK.

My most recent endevour has been to write the book, Quilting-on-the-Go, based on one of my most popular classes.

I live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent with my husband Craig and our son, who is not short of quilts on a chill winters night!
