Originally from Holland, Frieda has lived in the UK for close on 27 years. After studying the History of Art and Librarianship at college, she entered into a career as a librarian but craved something more dynamic and challenging and soon found herself moving into a more commercial world abroad. In 1994 Frieda completed Part I and II of the City & Guilds Embroidery course at Cardonald College in Scotland and at the same time passed a two year Textile Design module with the Open College of the Arts. From that point on, her career as a quilt artist took off.
