With my wonderful, supportive husband, I live in Canterbury, England - a World Heritage site roughly 70 miles from London. We have one son, who lives and works in London.
I have always enjoyed crafts of all kinds, from flower arranging to rug making, and I collected quilts long before I began to make them. I began patchwork and quilting more than 25 years ago, and it became a life-long passion (I am delighted to say!).
I enjoy all kinds of patchwork and quilting but I particularly love the bold designs of modern quilts. I am a member of both the Modern section of the Quilters Guild of the British
Isles and also the US-based international Modern Quilt Guild.
Having spent two years undertaking the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles quilt judging course, I am certified to jury and judge all types of quilt world-wide. Currently serving on the Quilters Guild judging committee, I organise the judging for the Festival of Quilts – the biggest quilt show in Europe – and have been privileged to help judge Best in Show for a number of years. I was recently on the jury for the Quilt Around the World competition based in Munich, Germany.
I have just completed organising the judging for the Festival of Quilts first virtual show, where we had over 650 entries from around the world.
Quilted in a Flash
You may love to free motion quilt yourself, or it’s an easy and effective option to “quilt by chequebook” and send tops to be longarmed, but what to do with charity quilts, baby quilts for your neighbours’ relatives, etc. when you may not want to spend a lot of time or money to get a quilt finished.
Use the walking foot on your domestic sewing machine combined with straight or decorative stitches to create a host of easy designs that will get your “duty” quilting finished faster and easier than you ever imagined! You may find that you like the look of this quilting style so much that you use it for all your quilts.
