I am a published, National & International award-winning modern quilter and teacher with a deep passion for innovation and design. My strength is maintaining a fresh approach to quilting, with original designs and technical mastery.
My goal is innovation, my passion is creativity and I am thrilled to have opportunities to share new techniques within the quilting community.
After 25 years working as a stylist and salon owner I retired, and then had the time to explore new creative outlets. I bought a sewing machine, and quilting quickly became my passion and my community.
In 2017, I joined the Toronto Modern Quilt Guild to expand my quilting experience, and in 2018 I taught quilting at a local sewing school in Toronto.
In the classroom I value creating a supportive atmosphere, and have taught all levels of quilters, from beginners to advanced students. My students describe me as being positive, caring, knowledgeable and well-organized, but most of all an incredibly patient teacher.
One of my loves is ruler work quilting. click here to see a close-up of some recent work. Since my quilts often feature a lot of negative space, I love the surprise viewers have when they approach my quilts and see the complex patterns with which I have filled these spaces.
I am very fortunate to have a beautiful studio and space to create. I get to make art everyday and for this I am forever thankful.
I would like to thank my sponsors for making this happen! A big thank you to Northcott Fabric, Bernina Canada, Sillymoon Quilting Co, Oliso Home, Hobbs Batting, Schmetz Neddles, Quilters Select, TrendTex and Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabric.
