Jacqueline became interested in quilt making in 1978. She loves to make beautiful quilts and enjoys working on her intrigued designs. Her goal is to inspire quilters all over the world with her “BeColourful” designs.
She always was creative in many different ways but when she saw a quilt, she was hooked. She loves to make quilts and to do something that you really love, is a miracle and a gift of God. She has made quilts that have won international awards and displayed her quilts worldwide. Her quilts are based on traditional designs but with a contemporary and colourful twist.
Since 2004 I have lectured and conducted workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Several interviews in newspapers and magazines were published and in 2011 I was profiled and featured on the online Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson. That same Quilt Show featured the Happiness pattern and instruction DVD for the Summer class of 2014. The AQS published “The BeColourful Quilt Collection” in July 2014. In this book, you will find about 50 of her most stunning designs.
She lives in the Netherlands in the beautiful city of Delft. The city is well known for the Royal Delft Ware.
Her way of patchwork/quilting is based on the paper foundation technique, using the sewing machine. The points, stars and flying geese are very sharp and beautiful. She loves to work with colours, and her quilts are real eyecatchers on your wall.
In 2015, She started working exclusively with Anthology Fabrics, sharing creative ideas as a designer and a textile artist.
