About Me
Hello and welcome, my name is Tineke (pronounced Tee-neh-keh). I’ve been sewing since I was little, first by hand, then by using my grandma’s hand crank sewing machine and eventually my mom’s electric sewing machine.
I started quilting when our boys were little. In the beginning of 2008, we moved from South Africa to the USA. This is where my eyes were opened to the wide, wide world of quilting!
I love a wide variety of quilting styles: simple, geometric designs found in Amish quilts, classic quilt blocks made modern, applique and art quilts. I like to focus on block design and a lot of times I’ll use neutral or earthy colors to focus on that aspect. I piece and quilt on my home sewing machine, but since I love the look of big quilting stitches, I do hand quilt from time to time.
Apart from quilting, I love trying out different types of crafts, reading, baking and planting a flower or two.
I am a follower of Jesus, am married to an amazing and very supportive husband and mother of two teenage boys (where did the time go?). We live in the beautiful city of St. Louis, Missouri with our dog Rufus.
Thank you for stopping by and taking time to look at my quilting endeavors.
