Designer, Teacher and Author
I have taught creative machine sewing for over 12 years in Worcestershire. I teach ladies how to use their sewing machines while making creative projects. Over 90 ladies have made my award winning Heirloom Quilt and over 60 their own version of my applique quilt, Floral Dimensions.My first book, How to Create an Heirloom Quilt, was published by David and Charles in May 2010. The book not only gives step by step instructions on how to make your very own Heirloom Quilt, it also includes over 36 sewing machine techniques and 6 smaller projects. My new book, Floral Dimensions, also published by David and Charles, explains how to create 20 of the three dimensional flowers used on my award winning machine applique quilt. For those of you who would like to make your own version of this quilt, I have self published a companion book, Floral Dimensions Quilt, which includes instructions and patterns for the 25 blocks, borders, corners and my 'back-to-front' joining technique.
