She has taught and shown her work in the US and Canada.
Swindon has a broad range of interests and her quilts show that variety, from sweeping landscapes to detailed vignettes of waves and trees. From animals and people to automobiles.
In addition to her skills in the needle arts, she is a painter and sketcher. Swindon’s Quadra Island visit starts off a West Coast teaching spree will also take her to Victoria and Parksville.
