Originally from Ontario, Canada, Sandra came from a career as an illustrator and graphic designer in publishing to textiles and through the City & Guilds adult education program in the UK. After completing the Diploma in Stitched Textiles with Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn at Windsor, Berkshire, she began teaching the working design part of the courses and now is a freelance tutor for summer schools and workshops with Embroiders’ Quilters Guild and textile groups throughout Europe.
