Hello, I'm from Lelystad in the Netherlands. Look it up on Google maps and you'll see I live on the bottom of the sea.... On reclaimed land.

I'm a mother of three daughters and one granddaughter.

I have worked all my life in management and executive positions, but nearly 4 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My life was never the same after that. The treatments took nearly two years, and left me with barely half the energy I used to have.

So I retired. Sounds simple, it's not. I was forced to completely rebuild my life.

If not for quilting, I might have gone stark raving mad. Watching netflix, eating chocolate and feeling sorry for myself.

Apart from quilting I love to cook, play some golf, do some fitness and hiking and babysitting my granddaughter. I'm also chairman of the patient board of the largest cancer research laboratory in my country.

My favorite music is loud and happy! I love to sing along with U2. My favourite colors are bright and I love fabrics by Tula Pink, Kaffe Fasset and Amy Butler. A new addiction is fussy cutting. Especially children's fabrics and flowery patterns.

My favourite place in the world is the veranda of our home in Austria overlooking the mountains.
