Maggie is a member of the CQA, ONN, Connections and the Royal City Quilters' Guild. She has done work towards her City and Guilds certification from Britain. She offers inspirational lectures, slide presentations, trunk shows and classes to guilds, schools, colleges, art classes, retreats, quilt shops, private groups and national needlework shows and quilting conferences.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across Canada and is in private collections around the world. She won two first place prizes in the 2005 National Juried Quilt Show, one for her machine quilting for “Stone Weather”, and one for her piecing in “Fire in the Cabin - PMS and the Full Moon”. Maggie sells her original textile art mainly from her studio, after years of doing studio tours and large shows. She also sells her own hand-painted fabrics and threads and creates commissioned pieces for public and personal spaces.

Maggie is influenced and provoked to create by literature, good conversation, radio, colour, line, texture, her beliefs and private musings. She draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the farmlands, rolling hills and woods around her. She works with many different materials and techniques - from traditional pieced patchwork to intuitive abstract painting and depictions of political and personal events . She is probably best known for the hand-painted fabric she pieces in original and simple patterns, and then densely quilts in intricate, contemporary free-motion designs with her domestic sewing machine. She also spends her days doing spontaneous handwork: beading, embroidering, wet felting, embellishing, and painting. She often works in a series, but every piece emerges completely unique. Her desire is to create spiritually meaningful textile art, and she believes that any creative act requires faith and optimism.
