I discovered that silk goes very well with jewelry – so I also have lovely pieces of all kinds of jewelry from 2 carats diamondsrings to cheap necklaces for my customers who love to browse. Look at my designs, fabrics, patterns and jewelry
WE WANT TO KNOW:
Do you have any advice for someone who wants to start quilting who never has before?
Using silk is very exciting – remember to use vlieseline (H180 preferable) before cutting in silk as it needs stabilizing, combine fabrics. Have fun! It’s great fun!

A purchase trip to Dubai to buy exciting silk eligible for silk quilting, and of course more vlieseline H 180 – I am always running out of stabilizer for my silk quilting projects…
