I am 43 and live on a farm in Berkshire, England. I am married with 2 grown up stepchildren. I work full time but love to sew in my spare time. I enjoy using thrifted vintage fabric in my creations. no piece of fabric is too small to work with and somehow I prefer working with scraps :-)
I am new to swapbot but have been involved with swaps for years on another forum - I will ALWAYS post out my swaps no matter how busy life gets
I love old feedsack fabric in bright colours, my fav colour is red. I am currently addicted to making strip block quilts and you can see some finished quilts on my blog.
