About me

Quilts are beautiful!

I became interested in quilt making in 1978 and I am a self-thought quilter. I love to make quilts, and try to reach a level of perfection, not to show people how hard I can work, or to show people that I'm a perfectionist in my designs and color choices, but because I love to make beautiful quilts and enjoy working on my colorful designs. My goal is to inspire quilters all over the world with my beautiful and colorful designs.

I always was creative in many ways but when I met quilts, I was hooked. I love to make quilts and to do something that you really love, is a miracle and a gift from God.

I had made quilts that have won international awards and had my quilts displayed worldwide. My quilts are based on traditional designs, but with a contemporary and colorful twist. Since 2004 I have lectured and conducted workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Several interviews in newspapers and magazines were published, and in 2011 I was profiled and featured on the online Quilt show from Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson.

I'm not only a passionate quilter but I'm also an encouraging and personal teacher and I love to share my enthousiasm for my designs with quilters and bring them to a higher and different level to find their artistic skills in themselves.

I live in the Netherlands in the beautiful city of Delft. The city well known for the Royal Delft Ware. I live close to my family and I'm passionate for my Siamese cat, mr. Pookie and my rescued Greyhound Amy.
