mother and from her grandmother, both of whom were used to making all the clothing required in their households.

her main love is Patchwork and Quilting.
Liz has an A level in Textiles, and City & Guilds in Patchwork & Quilting.
Her work has been exhibited at the NEC Festival of Quilts, and she has won 2 Judges merit awards for work exhibited at
