About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mixed Media/Textile Artist
Location Winnipeg, Canada
Introduction Hi! Welcome! My name is Pat F. I have worked with fibres for over 60 years and now am concentrating, almost exclusively, on my own designs, and exhibiting, and even selling, my work. I am a retired Occupational Therapist, with a husband, Dave, two grown children and four, almost grown, grandchildren. I try, but don't always succeed, to spend a part of every day in my studio.
Interests I've usually worked with fabric, dyeing and painting fabric, beading, traditional quilting, but now I find I'm moving toward mixed Media art. More recently I find myself doing more donation quilts, as I slowly purge my stash--at the request of my children!
Favorite Movies Movies? I'm too busy creating my own work!
Favorite Music I enjoy just about everything but when I'm working I use Solitudes most of the time. But when I'm against a deadline and really need to work, I put on Guns'n'Roses or anything by Joe Cocker
Favorite Books I read anything I can get my hands on including cereal boxes but right now I'm working my way through various, detective series.

Which do you prefer and why: whittling with soap or whistling with wood?

What are you working on now?
