What is your quilting style?

It depends on the project. I like modern quilts with simple, geometric shapes and bold colours or rainbows. On the other hand, I create art quilts and use batiks there. In my projects I use a lot of raw edge appliqué, paper piecing and sometimes embroidery:

How did you get started quilting and/or designing?

It was purely an accident. I did my first quilt in May 2010 for my friend’s baby. And since then I can’t stop.

Do you have a favourite quilt?

That was my first try on raw edge appliqué. I love wolves and this one became special to me.

Quick and fun questions:

  • Favourite colour: rainbow (my moods for colours change quite quickly)
  • What part of the quilting process do you like the most? Sewing the binding. In an art quilts – creating the appliqué. It’s similar to puzzles.
  • What part of the quilting process do you dislike the most? Free motion quilting. Itself it’s not so bad, but I have really tiny sewing machine and quilting bigger projects can be a nightmare.
  • Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or: chocolate. Lots of chocolate ;)
  • Favourite super hero or comic book character: I’m more an anime/manga fan, and my favourite is Alucard from Hellsing.
  • Most exciting place you’ve travelled: Paris.
