| Introduction | I am a South African born Occupational Therapist. My husband, two daughters and I immigrated to Montreal, Canada in August 2004 My earliest memory of sewing is sitting on my mom's lap at about age 7 sewing on her Singer treadle machine. Embroidery, needlepoint, rug-hooking, knitting, smocking, patchwork and scrap-booking were always encouraged at home. I have always enjoyed experimenting with color, fabric and non-conventional sewing materials whilst exploring their potential in my fiber art. I prefer dyeing fabrics to buying them and I find surface embellishment techniques exciting. |
