I have been involved with stitch for a very<br />

long time - an early memory being making<br />

clothes for my cherished Barbie doll. My first<br />

foray into quilting was in the 1980's, my<br />

second in the mid 1990's, and finally a<br />

more consistent foray in the mid 2000's.<br />

Since then I have taken lots of workshops<br />

and learned lots of techniques. I like the<br />

tactility of quilting and the creation of<br />

texture and marks that can be achieved<br />

through stitch. I travel a lot and take<br />

numerous photos. These form the basic<br />

inspiration for my quilts. I like to dye and<br />

print my own fabric where possible. My<br />

current inspiration is a rainy day in Geneva<br />

looking through the car windscreen.
