Quilts ● Cross Stitch ● Mixed Media

Welcome!

Making quilts isn’t about being perfect. It’s about creative expression, the tactile sensation of hands on cloth, combining patterns and colours that thrill you, and the satisfaction of saying, “I made this!”

I’ve been teaching folks how to make quilts for over twenty years. My passion is in sharing my deep understanding of the quilt making process, my eye for design, and my enthusiasm for the emerging creativity of my students through my talks, classes and workshops.

See you in class!
