Gillian is a designer, photographer, teacher, textile artist and reluctant administrator. She loves taking photos of the things she sees around her and uses them to make contemporary art quilts that become memories of her travels.

She has won many awards at Festival of Quilts in the UK, and in 2022 won a 2nd prize in the Art Quilt Category, which will displayed at the AQC Quilt Show.

She is a keen walker, it keeps her fit and gives her lots of energy for long teaching days and gruelling travel. She loves teaching and passing on her skills to enthusiastic quilters, especially in Australia!
