In 2007, a cousin told me, “A mom without a sewing machine isn’t a real mom!” At that time I was pregnant with my first child. For my birthday I wanted a sewing machine.
Patchwork has become an indispensable part of my life, without this creative channel it would be incomplete. I love to think about combinations and designs – and then it starts. The rotary cutter turns new fabrics and fabric scraps into pretty little spots that melt into a beautiful new picture in an instant. If I can’t get to the machine for a day, I already feel that something is missing.
Since 2015 I have also been giving regular courses to pass on my knowledge and ideas. Whether at adult classes in Friedrichshafen, at the “Nadelstich Kreativscheune” in Horgenzell or at trade fairs like the Creativa in Dortmund or the Nadelwelt in Karlsruhe. I always look forward to inquisitive people!
