The possibilities are endless to create original work.“Catherine is an award winning fibre and surface design artist whose work has been juried into exhibitions around the world. A Life Member of the Aotearoa Quilters National Association of New Zealand, she lectures on New Zealand Quilting, and has been published several fibre art publications, including NZ Quilter Magazine and Australia’s Textile Fibre Forum magazine.
