A new skirt

I have been working on a new skirt made from an old satin hexagon quilt. I will be showing this for the first time at The Knitting and Stitching Show in London in a couple of weeks time with a couple of complimentary coloured textile collages and much much more. You can get tickets to the show much cheaper if you book ahead. Here is the LINK to the web site. Hopefully the skirt won't be hanging from a couple of bull dog clips by then!

A Perfect Day

A perfect day out with my very dear friend Jayne. Up at dawn to arrive at the very start of a vintage textile fair in Manchester that we haven't had to organise ourselves! Many purchases made of course. On for  full sunday dinner at a little cafe we always go to and then to Salts Mill for a beautiful exhibition and afternoon tea. The exhibition looked stunning in the   ( very rarely open ) roof space of the mill with this September sunshine pouring in. The exhibition is called Cloth and Memory. Here is a LINK to its own site. It is worth travelling to. The best textile exhibition I have seen for a very long time....

The Caged Bird Sings

This is what you missed if you didn't come on my bird collage course today!

One week to go!

Mr Finch

I found Mr Finch through Pinterest and became interested in his work. I was lucky enough to be able to see some of it up close when I passed by The National Centre for Craft and Design the other weekend. These creatures were quite big and as you can see he makes the use of needlepoint in the same way as I do but 3D. Check out his web site HERE and from there go to a very inspiring blog.
