I'm a textile artist, designer and teacher. I'm also an Aussie now living in Central Florida. I began art quilting when I immigrated to the US in 2001, but I've been sewing since I could reach the pedal on my mother's old treadle sewing machine - over 40 years now.

I blog regularly at my main website and blog at http://www.Linda-Matthews.com/

I also blog regularly at http://www.Images-on-Fabric.com/ which is devoted solely to image transfer techniques and information for textile and quilt artists.

I have a store and old blog at
http://www.Creative-Textile-and-Quilting-Arts.com/

And I have a new Etsy store at

craft interests: crochet, embroidery, fashion, knitting, quilting, restyle, sewing, art quilting
