Shropshire writer and quilter

In these pages are pictures of my quilts,crafts and paintings, as well as excerpts from my four novels. You will also find free templates for your own projects.
The pictures of my quilts include my latest Cathedral Windows quilt as well as my Bookshelf quilt which is based on my favourite one hundred or so novels.

As well as enjoying reading murder mysteries I have now written four novels with two different heroines.
Two Shropshire murder mystery novels feature garden designer Fern Green, Death in the Physic Garden and Death in the Winter Garden, and are on sale as Kindle ebooks from Amazon, or in paperback. Please visit the Books page for more information.
My second series, the Quilt Detective, has textile artist Bronwen Jones investigate the hidden histories of old quilts, along with the murder mysteries that evolve from them. A Patchwork of Poison and Motif for Murder, are on sale as ebooks for Kindle and as paperbacks from Amazon. Both books feature templates to download for your crafts.
The third book in the series is finally taking shape though for health reasons, and failing eyesight, it's slow progress.

About me

garden

 
 
After a disappointing summer and, so far, a wet and dark October, I am starting to think about making Christmas cards. It is a pity the postage will be increasing again as I can't see this encouraging anyone to send cards. But an email card is just not the same. Above is a picture I made two years ago for the Open Art exhibition at MOMA in Machynlleth, based on our garden. It is always an interesting exhibition and runs over the summer. The theme for next year should be announced in February.
