Welcome

Welcome to my website.

I love working with textiles. I work in sketchbooks and also utilise the computer to design my pieces but mostly improvise directly from the fabric.  I hand dye and screenprint my own fabrics, then add the detailed design using dyes, fabric paints and discharge agents. The fabrics are machine and hand stitched, mostly into quilts but also into small embroideries. 

My latest work is very abstract and started in black and white for a series called "Pieces of Crow". I am now adding colour and pattern and small themes within the series.

Quote from Deb of Pixie Ladies
Visiting the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara

For me there were a few quilts that caught my eye from a distance, and I was pulled in to look at them closer. Christine Seager’s Bush Fire was the first one. Very simple quilting, but what a wonderful composition. I’m not sure that I saw trees before I read the title, but afterward I could see nothing but fire and trees.
