About Jennifer
Jennifer Clouston a textile artist, author, creator, designer and sought-after tutor residing on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of Australia. After being introduced to quilting in South Africa in 1988, Jennifer quickly discovered that, while she has always enjoyed sewing, it was handwork that was her true passion. Discovering the joy of combining embroidery, hand-piecing, and quilting, Jennifer developed her own style of crazy quilting, and this became a pivotal moment in her quilting life. In a process that begins with freedom and play, Jennifer found a creative outlet that saw her fusing the influences of her childhood in South Africa, with the traditions of Victorian crazy quilting.
Taking traditional embroidery stitches and giving them a modern, vibrant twist is what Jennifer is most known for. Her goal as an author, tutor and fellow stitcher is to inspire her community to discover the freedom, joy and peace of making their practice their own.
Jennifer is kept busy teaching her liberating approach to embroidery and hand sewing both locally, and all around Australia. Jennifer has created a range of fresh and inspiring patterns, and has published four books:
Foolproof Crazy Quilting
Foolproof Crazy-Quilt Projects
Foolproof Flower Embroidery
Foolproof Freeform Embroidery

While Jennifer keeps busy sharing her foolproof embroidery techniques in her workshops and online through Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Vaughn keeps busy producing new patterns, and filling orders for patterns, thread packs and books. Jennifer and Vaughn have been together for over 40 years and have 2 Children and 4 Grandchildren.
