ABOUT MONIQUE

I started sewing before she learned to read. A native of Switzerland, I was schooled in the many facets of home economics and has been sewing, quilting and knitting ever since.

After taking some quilting lessons in 1983 and attending the International Quilt Festival in Houston, I decided to open a quilt shop in Singapore—the first of its kind in South East Asia. It grew and grew, ultimately becoming the region's largest distributor of U.S. cotton fabrics, carrying over 10,000 bolts of fabric and a wide array of quilting supplies. During those years, I achieved notoriety in South East Asia, Australia and Japan for my teaching. 

As for those who really aren't interested in the craft itself, I enjoy enlightening them about this art which has been handed down so carefully from generation to generation.

In 2000, I decided to move back to the US to be with my daughter, while retaining the majority shareholder position of the business in Singapore. After 8 years of retirement, I could no longer fight the bug to open something again. With Hilary's children a bit older and in school, I proposed we open a business together.

Over two decades later I am still in love with quilting and all that surrounds it. The journey of quiltmaking has challenged me in many ways I never dreamed possible.
