I am a textile artist and quilt designer. I have a passion for traditional hand stitched patchwork, quilting and sewing which I have been sharing since 1996 through my successful classes and workshops. I run in person classes and workshops - these are held in my purpose built workroom in Leigh-on-Sea and venues in Essex, London or elsewhere by arrangement. All my teaching is based around my own designs for quilting and embroidery. I believe that whilst there are many computerised sewing machines available, it is important to maintain the traditional hand sewing techniques handed down through the generations.

​​

​​I have a number of City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting, and City and Guilds Creative Studies qualifications. I am a member of The Quilters Guild and The Embroiderers' Guild.  ​

​

​​I ran workshops at the Country Living Spring and Christmas Fairs in London and Harrogate for many years, as well as workshops at the Quilters Guild Annual Conference, Knit + Stitch, The Festival of Quilts and The Stitch Festival. 

​

When not teaching, I spend my time designing and making beautiful quilts for my own pleasure.

​

Details of all classes and workshops are provided on this website. Bespoke workshops can be arranged for your own group of friends or quilters, at a venue of your choice or. Please get in touch - I would be delighted to explore the options with you.

​

In my website Shop, you will find selected Liberty and other fabrics which are perfect for patchwork and quilting projects.
