Hi there… I’m a free motion quilter and have been free motion quilting since 2016. I started on my domestic sewing machine and have since progressed to a longarm.
No computer, No panto graphs
I love free motion – everything I quilt is directly from my own hand. Because of this, you’ll get unique patterns that may not be perfectly the same on every block.
When I started quilting, I tended toward nature – so leaves and floral patterns come pretty naturally for me. I can roll out a variety of leaves really easily and by extension feathers also happen naturally.
I’m also not one for rigid patterns, I prefer to have curvy flow – if you only want stitch in the ditch or light quilting – I’m probably not the quilter for you. If you love lots of texture, curves and swirls – then we’re talking!!!
Check out my gallery for examples of what I produce and below are some of my highlights so far.

Well – a real change of pace!!! March 2024 we said goodbye to Waikanae and my lovely studio moved to the Wairarapa and a new studio was created from an old classroom. I now have 80sm of work space and so much space to play!!!
Another change that has happened in 2024 – I am now a Handi Quilter Dealer… I love the machines so much – I joined the team!!! You can talk to me about any of your Handi Quilter queries!!
