My name is Simone but I am known by my friends and family as Moni.
I was brought up in Los Angeles in the USA, but 40 years ago I settled in the UK when I married my English husband, John. And I have two English children, Gina and Danny, both grown up now.

I have always been interested in various different forms of needlecraft, knitting, crochet, needlepoint and embroidery but about 35 years ago I really got into quilting in a big way. There is something about designing and creating a quilt that I find very comforting and satisfying.

I studied for my City & Guilds qualification In Patchwork & Quilting, completed a Bachelor’s degree in Art in the Community, and for the last 30 years I have been teaching quiltmaking and other assorted needlecafts.

The most popular course that I teach is called “Make a Sampler Quilt in 10 weeks” and I have now made this course available online for the first time.

Making quilts is such fun, and if you haven’t tried it before I hope you will join me and discover the joy that quilts can bring.
