Weaving soothes her, just as her textile works are a comfort to us. With her characteristic softness, she likes to take the time to feel and touch the fibers. She has already published six books with Marabout, such as Ma déco #handmade or L'atelier Granny Square, in addition to running workshops and creating custom pieces.
