   Profile

I live in South Australia and am married to Lawrence (known as Larry to most of us!), and we have two adult daughters Emily and Sophie. I am a part-time registered nurse and I continue practice today to ‘feed my obsession’!! I began my quilting journey in 1986 and have been addicted since. Appliqué is ‘my thing’ – especially designing quilts with William Morris as my inspiration. I have been teaching quilting for 20 years and specialise in appliqué and design. I am also a member of the Quilters Guild of South Australia Inc and have served on several committees – I am currently involved in our annual exhibition where I enjoy encouraging others to share their work with the general public and especially children – our future quilters.
