Author Margaret DochertyAbout the Author

Birds & RosesMargaret Docherty started quilting in the late 1980s and, despite having won many major quilting awards on both sides of the Atlantic, still looks on herself as an amateur quilter. The "night" time hobby of quilting is a reward after the rigors of her day job as a pediatrician. An experienced teacher of young doctors and medical students, Margaret finds teaching quilters to be much more fun, although it has to be on the weekends or during annual leave.

Little Brown Bird PatternsShe has written two books for American Quilter's Society, Little Brown Bird Patterns and Birds 'n' Roses.

Over three decades, Margaret and her husband have tended three quarters of an acre of English Country Garden and claim to feed every wild bird in the county. It is literally possible for her to find inspiration for a Garden Quilt in her own backyard.

Quilting and medicine are only two of the author's interests. She enjoys fast cars; clothes, far too many clothes; a houseful of dogs; and the relief of having grown-up daughters.
