Welcome to my website.   It will be mainly about stitching - mostly  quilting. 
I began quilting, like so many others of my generation, with Laura Ashley fabrics in the 1970s.  Life/children/work intervened and I did not seriously return to quilting/textile art until I was approaching retirement.  I felt I wanted to stretch myself, so took the C & G certificate followed by the Diploma.  Studying for the Diploma worked well for me as I tried so many different techniques and styles and, one day, realised that I knew in which direction my style was developing.  Much as I love abstract textiles/quilting, and admire many other artists, it is not my area.   I love to draw, paint, print and stitch and this is what I now do.
