new textile collage

A bit brighter than I usually work. Incorporating a piece of fine needlepoint and lots of criss cross embroidery. Suffragette colours I think, appropriate for the 100 year anniversary of the death of Emily Wilding Davison who is buried in Morpeth close to where I work.

Crazy Patchwork Appliqued Birds

Last week I officially opened my easy shop and within a couple of days had sold out of the little birds that I appliqué and embroider on to pieces of old crazy patchwork. These past few evening I have been making more so check them out over at my easy shop HERE. Every single one is different.

Textile Collage

All Things African

I have just updated my web site with all the print making courses I will be teaching until the end of the summer.  Check it out HERE. I am particularly excited about the 4 day Easter school I will be teaching on an African theme. Here are some mixed media responses to tribal textiles that I have worked on myself in sketchbook format. Apologies if you have seen these before. There are still places on the course , which takes place at The Hearth Horsley.

red flowers

The turkey red comes from the back of a quilt I unpicked. Applique is just my favourite thing particularly when I have patchwork underneath.
