Description
Quilts, bags,purses, cushions, accessories and more, in unique fun fabrics I made my first patchwork item when I was 11 years old. We'd done some patchworking in school a couple years earlier and had decided I wanted to try it as a hobby. So I made two cat beds for my pets.
Since then over 29 years I've done patchwork and quilting occasionally but not to a great extent until this year. I'm taking a break from my 'real' job as a landscape artist and concentrating on patchwork and quilting because I really enjoy it. I love the wide variety of fabrics available. I also find it like a puzzle, to put fabrics together in a pattern that is pleasing.
I'm also starting to incorporate some applique into designs which is a newish thing to try, and a little embroidery which I was also taught at school and have done over many years.
Feel free to have a browse at my work. I'll add more as I make it but my photography skills are not that great!

Just about back on track :) Have had a play about with the embroidery machine. I think I'd been expecting it to be complex but it's straightforward. Not too easy but not too difficult either. Getting to grips with the basics first :D
Happy Burns Night :)
