I was brought up in a typical 50’s household and my mum was always doing needlework crocheting, knitting, and lots of embroidery. She dressed dolls and made brooches for the church bazaar so I loved all that.

I have followed on, really enjoying lots of different methods and finding my own favourites.

I am now doing a paper pieced quilt using up all the lovely scraps of Liberty fabrics that I have been collecting.

Looking through my work I seem to be drawn to green which I think is my favourite colour in textiles especially when using nature in most of my work.

We think you will agree that Margaret has given us a wonderful ‘natural selection’!
