| Introduction | I work full-time as an Inclusion Manager in a large Inner London junior school. I studied art at College but it was only about 5 years ago that I discovered the wonderful and addictive world of patchwork, quilting and textile art. I find designing and creating pieces satisfying and therapeutic and enjoy learning new techniques and ideas which I can take into my work and since my daughter left home have the luxury of a sewing room/studio. I find inspiration for work all around me but also enjoy making practical items such as cushions. I am studying on-line for my C and G Level 3 in patchwork and quilting and for more on this see my previous blog http://quilts-n-things.tumbler.com |
