In 1985 I went to a talk about appliqué in the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild. I decided that I would have a go. I was not interested in reproducing traditional patterns so my early work was machine appliqué. I use a lot of free machining and other decorative techniques Many pieces incorporate text, often almost hidden. Since 1986 I have been making Events of
the Year quilts see Year Quilts.
From this page you can access images of individual year quilts
covering 1986-2011. These quilt have 19 picture panels that cover
world events. I have produced many 3 dimensional pieces that satisfy the criteria of a quilt as they consist of 3 layers but equally well would be accepted as embroidery or sculpture. A miscellaneous selection of my work can be seen from Galleriesaa I am a freelance lecturer and teacher. Details
of my talks and workshops can be seen on the Lectures
+ Workshops page. My career details may be seen on CV Some of my recent work can be seen on flickr: http://flic.kr/ps/23XmR1 CDs A CD of all 27 Fish and Water works (53 high quality images) is available for £6.00 which includes P&P (UK). email for details Site updated October 2012
