Random things about me:

I live in Ottawa with my husband.

I have been creating with textiles since I graduated from Fashion Design in 1984.

I love colour. I love texture.

My favourite colour is the transitional inky blue tinged with pink that appears at twilight.

I don’t like unsewing unless I’m really excited about the outcome (unsewing because of error or just bad sewing irks me).

I worked in a quilt shop where I learned to quilt, got to play with colour all day.

I’m terrible at math but I can figure out fabric yardage for a king size quilt with two borders.

I taught myself how to make stamps from fun foam and cardboard, and how to make printing screens out of curtain sheers and stretcher bars.

I have a bad habit trying out a new painting technique which covers my hands in paint while not using gloves right before a fancy dinner date.

This is my first official website.

I hate writing bios.

Email me for more info, collabs, what’s it like in your world…..the usual.
