Ami is a Textile Artist & Quilter based in Derbyshire. She is the owner of Simply Sewing Boxes,  Mind full Embroidery kits and The Quilt Academy

Ami started sewing in 2011 and quickly found that Quilting is her passion. After setting up Simplysewingboxes,  The quilt academy, she went on to gain 2 City & Guilds and a Diploma in Sewing & Designing and started to teach adults and children to sew.

In 2014 she joined Upperstreet Events as a Tutor for the Knitting & Stitching shows, the International Festival of Quilts and the Sewing Quarter TV Channel.

In 2017 the children she teaches got recognition from the Festival of Quilts when they won 3rd prize with their creation.

Throughout the pandemic, Ami has continued to teach online through Simply Sewing Boxes, Youtube and The Quilt Academy, now brand new Mindful embroidery kits and a range of online classes.  She’s determined to show people how to have fun and gain a new hobby and lifestyle.

Mindfulness at its best.
