About 25 years ago I discovered patchwork and quilting, and that has been my main creative outlet since. My main interest is in handmade quilts, and the reproduction of vintage or antique styles, with a little uplift in colour and arrangement. My quilts have featured in Australian quilting magazines, scoring front cover on a number of occasions, and have been awarded prizes at quilt shows. I have been teaching for the past 10 years at local quilt shops around Australia, quilting retreats, and quilters Guilds. My focus is on hand applique, using back-basting whereby no templates are used, no freezer paper, and no glue and teaching hand piecing, using templates, and “no knot” start and finish, and continuous piecing. Lone Star Have you always admired the Lone Star quilt, and longed to make one? With this easy strip piecing and cutting, you can achieve a beautiful example of this ever popular design.
