My online shops are named after my Granny Grace Cox nee de Quincey. She lived in London and worked as a Master Tailor in the West End fashion houses. She was evacuated to Deddington, Oxfordshire in 1941 and met my Grampy. She became the local seamstress in the village of Deddington.
I have a lifelong passion for knitting and have been designing knitting patterns since 2012. My patterns range from fair isle knitting to using knitting stitches to create texture and colour and are designed for intermediate and advanced knitters, worked flat using two single-pointed needles. My designs are original, inspired by nature, history, places I visit, and where I live in the English countryside.
From the age of 16yrs, I trained as a professional ballet dancer, and after many years on the stage, I opened Deddington Ballet School in 1996. I retired from teaching ballet in June 2021.
I studied City & Guilds qualifications at IDC College, Bromsgrove, and gained several qualifications in Fashion and Textiles including a Level 3 Certificate in Textiles. In 2023, I started a BA (Hons) in Creative Arts with The Open College of Arts (The Open University), specialising in textiles and art to develop my artistic work and explore the creative process of being an artist.
I tutor in Textiles & Dressmaking in the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire area. I tutor children, young people, and adults in sewing machine skills, dressmaking, knitting, crocheting & textiles.
