Since joining HH over 4 years ago I have learnt so much about the world of patchwork and sewing. As a non sewer and complete newbie to the world of quilts i was quick to learn the patchwork jargon, terms like fat quarters and the importance of that 1/4" seam!! I love helping people chose patterns/fabrics and am a dab hand at showing them how to get the best out of their sewing machines. Like most quilters out there i need more time to use up the huge stash of wonderful fabric i have aquired and to finnish off the ufo's, which i now know are not flying saucers with aliens inside! In the mean time i am happy to help out in the shop with Michelle and my wonderful coleagues and the many people who frequent the shop not only as customers but also now as friends :)

Other Interests: Cooking, reading and dancing.

I began patchworking and quilting in 1998 and havn't stopped since. It's just so addictive! My tastes in patchwork have changed over the years but my love of free motion quilting has remained constant. In particular I love to pass my enthusiasm, for all things patchwork and quilting on to others.

Coming from a Montessori classroom in South Africa to a fabulous quilting shop in Australia, it is all an adventure.  While I love hiking in the mountains (or hills in Perth), my other great loves for travelling, teaching and patchwork come first, where possible.  I have been quilting since 1988 and I've learnt so much and produced many UFO's too!
