 | I have always been passionate about craft work. From a very early age I was knitting, sewing and crocheting. Later, I dabbled in macrame, rug-making, tie-dyeing and love bead necklaces, among others. Then came quilting!
Whilst in Canada, some 30 years ago, I discovered quilting. This opened up a whole new world of texture and colour and I have been quilting ever since. From decorative wall-hangings to full size bed quilts, these are timeless, unique and personal gifts to give. I taught patchwork and quilting for several years around the North Island of NewZealand. Now, with the arrival of a longarm quilting machine, affectionately known as 'Nellie', I will be able to turn your quilt tops into beautiful completed quilts that you can use or give.
I love working with beads, a versatile medium which can be combined with others, such as textiles, or used alone to create wonderful unique pieces of jewellery. Jewelry can also be made to order.
My unique jewellery, textile art and quilts are proudly hand crafted in New Zealand (check out the 'Shopping') and can be yours to own or give. Also, I have a Coffee and Craft session fortnightly at my home in Whangaparaoa. See the details under 'Classes' and get your name down to join in the fun.
