I was born in Gran Canaria, one of eight Islands in the Canarian Archipelago, in the middle of Atlantic Ocean. I live here with my husband and my two children.

Since I was a child I helped my mum, with her dressmaker’s job.
In 2003 I discovered Patchwork’s world and I begun learning it.
In 2006 I decided to make patchwork my profession and I begun teaching in Fild’or. In the same year I became to be the owner of the 50% of the shop. I stayed there til 2010.
In 2011, I opened my own shop “Tu Rincon de Patchwork” and keep on teaching several classes with different patchwork technics.

In 2014, I made my first quilt,in my way, of Judy Niemeyer “Glacier Star” and I fall in love with the desingns!
In 2015, I made “Paradise in Bloom” in my way too, and it was exposed at Sitges International Quilt Festival in 2017 and in the same year it was exhibiting in the International Quilt Festival of Houston.
In 2018 Ada Honders, the european cordinator for Quiltworx, visited me in my shop and invited me to learn the Judy Niemeyer real skills and to work to became in a certifed teacher. Ada tought me the “Lakeshore Hosta” and I fall in love with the method.
The year next I was teaching this proyect and a little proyects for beginers too.
In 2019 was our first reatreat in Europe,organized by Patchwork Promotions, and we made “Dinner Plate Dahlia Quilt” that I finished the same year.
After that I don’t stop teaching, and working hard to become in a certifed teacher in the future!
