Profile

I have a background in publishing and writing, particularly in the field of textiles, patchwork and quilting. As the Editor of Popular Patchwork magazine, I spend my days planning future issues, visiting quilt shows and meeting a great variety of talented quilters from around the globe. Having said that, I do have time for other freelance work and I would be happy to hear from you if you need help with any publishing projects, wish to commission an article or need help with your website content. Please visit my other website www.cinnamonpublishing.com for more on this or drop me an email.
