I love creating texture in my quilts. To me quilts are very
tactile objects and I really enjoy using different fabrics,
beads, yarns and threads to create images.
My inspiration comes from nature around me. At the moment I'm
blessed to be living on the edge of the ocean in the Bahamas. I
wake up every morning to see aqua blues and clear light all
around me. This is what I try and capture in my art quilts.
I have just completed a City & Guilds quilting course
online....isn't technology marvelous !!. I studied through Linda
& Laura Kemshall and learnt new techniques that I am looking
forward to incorporating into my future quilts.
In October 2006 I went to the Houston Quilt show for the first
time. To any quilter who has not been to this fantastic event I
would recommend you do so as soon as you can and take
comfortable shoes. The great variety of quilts was amazing and I
was again reminded of the huge diversity within our art form. I
was a Quilt Angel for the Hawaiian appliqué and hand quilting
section. They were beautiful and while it is not a technique I
want to take up I had to marvel at the beauty of the work.
I was
delighted to be informed that my latest quilt
"Greenlight" was accepted into the
Chicago IQA judged show and has been selected to travel with the
IQA to their other judged shows.
I took all of the
photograph's used on this website with the exception of the
photo I used for the Rose island quilt, this was given to me by
Robin Symonette.
