I want to share my enthusiasm for making through courses and workshops and my quilting patterns and kits, developed and delivered by a needlewoman who can teach.

I have years of experience in creating and making with textiles to share with you. The courses are about learning new skills and techniques; gaining confidence, alongside like-minded enthusiasts.

“The class makes me stop working and gets me out of the house to focus on something for me.”

“I knew you would know how to sort this out – going to the expert”

The classes and workshops are designed around you – working at your own pace, on your own project, guided gently through the process and techniques needed to successfully complete and enjoy the process of making something.

“I just love how it looks and I made it!!”

The spacious studio is equipped with Janome Sewing machines, cutting and ironing facilities situated in the old stable yard for Markeaton Hall

“I have made some new friends.”

There is a small supply of fabrics and sewing equipment and my patchwork and quilting kits and patterns

Looking forward to seeing you.
