Heather started weaving in Toronto in the early 1970's after taking an evening course. She joined the Toronto Weavers' Guild, bought a loom, some yarns and began to weave.

	In 1978, while living in the eastern Ontario village of Fallbrook, Heather developed her weaving into a full-time business. She joined the Riverguild in Perth and sold through stores in Lanark, Ottawa, Toronto, Collingwood, Banff, Niagra-on-the-Lake and St. Jacobs.   Heather weaving in her Fallbrook studio, 1980.
In addition, Heather attended craft shows including the One of a Kind Spring Show and Christmas Show in Toronto, Nepean Christmas Craft Show, Fair November in Guelph and Festival of Spring in Ottawa. After the recession in the late 1980's the market for weaving changed and Heather concentrated on other persuits, including her farm and editing business.

	Recently, Heather has returned to the craft as natural fibres and handwoven clothing are once again in fashion. Three examples of batwing tops from Heather's early 1980s lines.

Heather now concentrates on women's casual country clothing in natural fibres such as wool, cotton and silk. Colour has always been the focus of her work and she tries to emphasize the texture of the woven fabric with simple designs to create classic, timeless garments.
