Pat enjoys designing and making geometric quilts. She particularly likes including fractal-like elements – the same shape in different sizes, arranged in a way that can be described mathematically. The resulting designs often address themes for local Western Australian group exhibitions which have included Noongar Country: Wetland Glimpses, and Expanse (of WA).
