from Cortes Craft Shop Co-op

I became a fiber artist later in life. In grade seven I had a sewing teacher who did more discouraging than encouraging. I decided right then and there sewing was not for me. Fast forward to 26 years, when we bought our home in Whaletown. It needed curtains, pillows etc so I bought my first sewing machine and decided to teach myself. I made my first quilt about 25 years ago and have made many quilts for friends over the years.

I have a love of colour and fabrics that get my imagination going. I enjoy dying my own fabric
when I have time. I joined the Cortes Craft shop 20 years ago making napkins, placemats and bags for the shop. I have also done some commission pieces.

When I’m not hiking or kayaking with my husband, dogs and friends, you will find me in my studio surrounded by colorful fabric.
