Creative ribbon embroidery and stumpwork is what I love to do. I am a designer, teacher, and author of needlecraft books and DVDs that are available worldwide via amazon.com and needlecraft outlets. I teach ribbon embroidery and stumpwork in DVD format, in my books and also by writing instructions for needlecraft kits. I will shortly be offering downloadable lessons from my website www.dicraft.co.za

My latest book is a Fairy book, due for release in January 2009. For the first time Cicely Mary Barker's beautiful fairies are presented, step-by-step, for Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork. It is a beauty! I paint my own range of variegated silk and organza ribbons too and these are marketed worldwide, we also sell beautiful pre-printed designs, printed on pure cotton for embroidery, cushions and quilt blocks.

I also enjoy quilting, patchwork, candlewicking, appliqué, card making, working with fabric, felt and wool. I love animals, gardening, painting, nature, reading, writing, walking on the beach, and taking scenic drives with my hubby and two boys. I Am fortunate to live close to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Newlands, Cape town and often take long walks there.

Cape Town is a beautiful city with friendly people, exquisite landscapes, and beaches. I have a shop at the Crafters Market, next to the aquarium at the beautiful V&A Waterfront, one of South Africas top tourist destinations. Hope to see you there!
