I live about 25 miles north of London in  Harpenden. Herts. U.K.

After working for many years as an Occupational Therapist, I gained a degree in adult education before changing direction to pursue my interest in quilting. 

Since then I have published 9 books and developed 3 design tools, a Celtic pattern e book and 6 DVD's. 

The subject matter of my books has varied. From Celtic style, geometric, floral and perspective patchwork to photo realistic, contemporary appliqué, art quilts and innovative techniques using unusual fabrics.

All my techniques are machine sewn and suitable for all levels of expertise. 

My books are well known for their simple instructions.and my techniques have appeared in quilting magazines and books in U.K. Japan, U.S. New Zealand, Germany and Ireland .

My quilts have won awards at all the major U.K. quilt shows. Awarded 1st place for Innovative Appliqué in Houston, Texas and the Kairin Pisereva silver cup for pictorial appliqué at the U.K. National Patchwork Championship. Also in Barcelona, Budapest and the International Celtic Exhibit in Reno, Nevada and Redding, California. My work was included as one of the 25 quilters commissioned to celebrate the 25th Anniversary the British Quilter’s Guild.

I enjoyed being a guest on six U.S, 'Sewing with Nancy' U.S. T.V. programmes to demonstrate my techniques and have judged shows in U.S. Spain, New Zealand and the U.K.National Patchwork Championships and The Festival of Quilts.

For 7 years I have taught and demonstrated at the International Quilt market in Houston, Texas and taught by invitation at the Martha Pullen Quilt Academy in Alabama.

As part of the U.K. team invited to create and model garments for the 'Fashion Sans Frontiers'  show at the Festival of Quilts at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham my garments were awarded a gold medal . 

International teaching has carried me to guilds, shops and shows in Australia, New Zealand, U.S.A. Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan, Sweden, Oman and Israel as well as all over the British Isles.

Why not arrange for me to teach your group…either in person or on Zoom ?

I promise that we will have fun!
