Introduction by Helen:-
My work is bold, graphic, and modern, bursting with vibrant colour and striking contrast. Pushing myself creatively has been central to my journey and has led to winning multiple awards at the Festival of Quilts. I began quilting as a form of creative self-care after becoming a parent, and it quickly grew into a deep passion. Driven by curiosity and a love of experimentation, I’ve rapidly developed my skills. Drawing on my architectural background to specialise in foundation paper piecing, and later expanding into free-motion quilting and complex curved piecing. Sharing my work and techniques is just as important to me as sewing. I love producing patterns and seeing the endless variations others create from them. Teaching brings me even more joy: creating connections, and watching students grow in skill and confidence.
