Macky is a recognised South African quilt teacher who started quilting in Zimbabwe, as a self-taught quilter, in 1977.Over the years she has attended many workshops given by very talented local and international teachers. She has taught within her own guild (DIAS in Gqeberha) and at many of the South African National Festivals. She has also taught at shops and guilds throughout South Africa. Quilting is her passion! Being creative is an integral part of her being and fabrics, fibres, threads and her art supplies are her chosen medium. She loves to share her knowledge with others. Macky really tries to equip her students with as much knowledge as she can and plant seeds that will move them to create from within themselves.
