I have been developing and teaching my own patchwork and quilting designs for over twenty years from my base in Sheffield, which is in the north of England. In my “other life” I teach Chemistry – and this mathematical and technical interest is perhaps why I love the geometry and precision of patchwork.
In recent years I have become more interested in the history of the craft, and now have an extensive collection of antique quilts which I love to talk about in my online Heritage Quilt Club.
For many years I have been a member of the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles, and I am also active in the British Quilt Study Group.
I specialise in traditional-style patchwork, and love the variety of blocks available, and the changed effect with a different choice of layout or fabric.
Although I no longer have a stand at the Festival of Quilts selling my patterns, it is the only place I still teach regularly.
In addition to lectures, I usually teach classes there on drafting quilting designs – these are also available as download packs in my online Shop
I like helping quilters to learn how to improve their techniques so they get really good results – perfect points on stars, and well-matched stripes for example. All my patterns include pages of these tips!
I also like writing short stories which incorporate patchwork & quilting
