| Patchwork Artist and Quiltmaker | ||
Since 1990 I have been creating designs and exploring new applications in patchwork, quilting and appliqué. I combine traditional, pictorial and experimental use of fabrics to create original wallhangings, quilts, cushions and clothing. In a lot of my work I use African Arts and Crafts as an influence. |

I give workshops, demonstrations and talks to patchwork and quilting groups and attend quilt shows around the UK - and I normally bring the African Fabric Shop with me! |

| The African Fabric Shop - Talks and Workshops | ||
I am particularly interested in fabrics from Africa. Since 1999 I have been selling a variety of fabrics through my online African Fabric Shop. I will also bring my famous suitcases along to talks and workshops for you to rummage through! I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting fabrics - so the selection is constantly changing. Go to Talks... Go to Workshops... |
