My teaching travelling trips have now slowed down (after a big post-covid catch up) and I am enjoying being at home this summer and getting on with some new projects. Some of which are still too secret to share much about, but read on for a sneak peek or two… One thing I can shout …
Today I’m delighted to share a new finished quilt! This is Intertwined and it’s made from all my Improv Flowers Workshop class samples, plus some extra details. I’ve been teaching this class since 2017 when it was a workshop choice at that year’s Stitch Gathering retreat. The initial spark was a class I took with …
It’s been quite a while since I last posted, I hope you’ve not been missing me too much! I have been fulfilling a lot of teaching obligations which date back two years and were all cancelled due to covid. This has kept me very busy, and though I have been making progress on various ‘class …

I started Weather Bubble almost immediately after the first Covid lockdown last year and I wrote about it in this blogpost here. I also wrote two further blogposts during the year it took to complete …
