About

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Lena and I live in Dublin, Ireland, with my husband and two daughters. 

I grew up and spent most of my life in Kharkov, Ukraine, where I studied to be, and then worked as a teacher of English at the university.

I also studied in an art school as a teenager and tried many art and craft forms before I took up patchwork and quilting. Thanks to my wonderful teacher Svetlana Kachalova I fell in love with this art, first studying and then even teaching in her craft school Silk Road in Kharkov.

Now that we moved to Ireland I dedicated myself to art and design, graduating with a BA in Graphic Design and honing my drawing and quilting skills to develop my personal style.

I am a member of the Irish Patchwork Society (Eastern branch) and I am delighted to meet friendly and helpful like-minded people there and take part in the events organised by the IPS. I am also happy to teach workshops and speak at branch and group meetings.
