Industry Biotech
Occupation Biologist, Mom
Location Ontario, Canada
Introduction A major project for me at the moment is developing a creative habit for contemporary quilt-making and related pursuits such as fabric dyeing and surface design. I'm a full-time mom to two active children so making time for creative work can be a small challenge. This blog documents the journey.
