Hello!
So glad you popped by to explore my designs and follow along with what I am up to.
A little bit about me . . .
I am definitely a creative at heart and have been busy sewing, designing, drawing, stitching and making for as long as I can remember.
After a ten year stint in London working as a spatial designer, it was a move to Perth on the other side of the world and motherhood that reconnected me with my love of sewing and my design journey took a new path into pattern design for patchwork and quilting.
I have spent the past twenty years building a catalogue of bright modern quilt patterns which are sold globally. My work within in the quilting industry has involved commissions for industry magazines, block of the month programs, fabric design and teaching. My work has taken me to some amazing places around the world and connected me a wonderful community of like minded souls.
My design style is quirky, humorous and always bold and bright. I tend to lean to things that make me smile and I have a love to push boundaries but with clever ways to make things easy that otherwise seem a bit tricky!
My designs are now making an appearance on some cool new things for your home under my new label Mr Kip. I have just launched the first fun series of greeting cards so head on over to the Mr Kip page to check them out.
