BIO :  
I've been stitching about 20 years and teaching almost as long.

I teach workshops every year at The Silver Thimble in Oakville.

I have taught at the Creative Needlework Festival and several Guilds.

Stitchery that I enjoy most includes stumpwork, machine embroidery, applique, doll making, blackwork and counted thread.

I have won several awards including Bernina Canada, Coats and in 2004 a stumpwork sampler in Piecework magazine.

May of 2005 I won awards from the Toronto Guild Competition and the Mississauga Guild Competition.

To date I've been published in Embroidery Canada (cover, pictures and article); The Quilting Arts; Piecework, Soft Dolls and Animals, and the Art Doll Quarterly.
