| Introduction | Ek bly op 'n plaas in Riebeek-wes en gaan graag so dikwels as moontlik, Melkbosstrand toe. I am a Quilter living on a farm in South Africa. I started my first quilt project when I was 15. I wrote a book on Machine patchwork in 1990 to share everything I learnt with trial and error and from 100 different books. I now incorporate machine embroidery in my quilts. My eldest daughter Hedwig completed her degree in visual studies in 2010. Annake is studying Chemical Engineering after completing a B.Sc degree in 2009. My blue eyed boy- Van der Byl, is studying medicine and is very opiniated about everything- remind me about myself at his age (I have learned to use my two ears and one mouth in that relation, over the years). I am involved at our local Old Age Home as treasurer. I am involved with the dairy on the farm- these things use some of my precious quilting time. |
