About Me

My photo
Martha
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, married an English man and raised 6 children in Lincolnshire,UK. I'm keen to make American innovations in machine quilting more readily accessible to the English quilter. I take a folk art approach, helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary results. I've been developing, demonstrating and teaching hand-guided free-motion machine quilting techniques since 2003.
