Ulla.

My name is Ulla Christensen, born 1938. Married to Poul Erik. We have 2 grown sons and 2 teenage grandchildren.
   
For nearly 20 years secretary to general practitioners and district psychiatry.
In 1985 I began doing patchwork advised by a friend who knew I always had some needlework going.
 
During the years I have participated, things have develloped incredibly. Just think of the cutting kit and all the fascinating new sewingmachine techniques, the multitude of festivals and competitions.
           
I am selfmade and spend most of my leisure time develloping and working with patchwork techniques, which I employ in quilts and clothing. I feel that my imagination and creativity thrive doing that.

I have also had time to attend classes by wellknown artists both in my own country and abroad:

A few times a month I "work" for "Botosan Childrens Services . Danmark". An organisation of volunteers in the island of Mors. I am head of the workroom, where we make clothes for "our" orphans and their nursing people.

A meaningful spare time occupation - which helps children as well as adults as we notice. We try to help people to help themselves.
