Cindy Rapson was born in the UK, but lived and worked in the USA and New Zealand before settling in England. She says 'I have been making things and doing various crafts since I was a little girl. I love patchwork and quilting but am the queen of the UFO (unfinished object). Paper projects are now my obsession because they fulfill my need to play with colour and pattern, and because they don't take very long I actually finish quite a few projects now!' Cynthia has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ambassador University of California, has been a demonstrator for Kars since 2004, runs Gingham Buttons, her own craft shop, and writes for magazines.
