Etsy

I have just restocked my etsy shop with some bits and pieces from my studio including this collage which has bits of my late grandmother's sofa included and some very old silk hexagon patchwork. I love working in this very free patchwork style just pulling very special bits and pieces together into a resolved composition.

Fox and Flowers

This is one of the pieces I am showing in the Textile Hub exhibition. The fox is built up with tiny hand stitches/ split stitch. It takes me so long and I am wondering whether to go back to machine embroidery to do work like this where people can't seem to tell the difference.

Textile Hub Winter Exhibition

You are warmly invited to join us on Thursday night for the preview of our winter exhibition. I will be showing all of the really big pieces that were exhibited earlier this year at Birmingham.

Spring Textile Courses

Next year I will be running courses all over the place - Cornwall, Norfolk, Suffolk, Scotland, Nottinghamshire and Kent! Now I am getting back into a routine after Knit and Stitch my thoughts turn to running workshops from The Hearth at Horsley which is where I have my studio. I have just added 3 new Spring courses to my website. To check them out please look HERE

Open Studio

My studio is open this weekend. If you didn't get to Harrogate you will be able to see a lot of the work that I exhibited there. There are some lovely additional people in the hall this time so do come and join us!

One day left till Knit and Stitch Harrogate

My bags are packed and I am all ready to meet the public and exhibit my work in my gallery "Thread and Thrift" at Knit and Stitch in Harrogate. this year I feel privileged to be exhibiting alongside Dorothy Caldwell and Tilleke Schwatrz . The only down side is that I will be inside for 4 days and won't be able to get out to the Harrogate charity shops!

Suffolk Flowers

Suffolk flowers from a Norfolk girl. One of many pieces that I have been making to sell at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Harrogate. I will be going on Wednesday to set up. If you are in the North please drop by and say hello. I am on stand TG500. You won't miss me if you have a prepaid ticket as I will be the first gallery in front of the entrance. My space is slightly smaller than at the other shows though still packed full of pieces I have loved making and wish to share with you.
