Long overdue news... My piece called "Calm and Chaos" was exhibited at the Great New Zealand Quilt Show in May 2023.

IT WON A RIBBON!!! (Which means, I won a ribbon!!!)

Thank you Aotearoa Quilters, New Zealand’s national quilting body, for giving me a context to exhibit within. And Tis the Season for the awesome prize.

This event was also an opportunity to share my Improv Piecing knowledge in the classroom. I was touched and delighted that folk wanted to come and spend the day making Improv with me.

The class is called “Freeform Improv Piecing – No Rules, No Rulers, No Quilt Police”.

It was offered as a one day class. It has a big sister “Deep Dive into Freeform Improv Piecing” which is 2 days of creative freedom!
