Place on Doll course

Some one has cancelled their place on my very popular annual doll making course on Monday 30th November. Think Xmas fairies or angels! The course costs £45 and includes all materials and will take place in my studio. If you would like a place please contact me through my web site  HERE

Come in to the warm...

I am making my studio all warm and cosy and seasonal, like this little red log cabin,  in anticipation of lots of visitors joining us for our Annual Winter Fair. Hope to see you there.
All of you who are fed up with my ETSY shop being a bit empty I will be filling up its windows next week!

Loving Lace

Somebody has just cancelled their place on the Loving Lace course I am running this Sunday 15 November at The Hearth. Full details of the course can be found HERE.
If you are interested please contact me. The course costs £45 and includes all materials.
Here  are some pictures to tempt you.

Leporello

A concertina book I am making. It seems to have been foggy and dark all week so this is the best I can do with the photography!

Fall

Autumn is truly with us now and the valley across from my studio is a patchwork of colour. Here is a  rather ugly textile illustration of Autumn  but the back of the piece is really interesting!

Pride (and prejudiced)

Yes I am prejudiced! My daughter has just illustrated a new version of "Pride and Prejudice " and I am unashamedly plugging it. It has just been published costs £15 and is a lavishly illustrated hard back so a bargain and great gift for Christmas. Here are just a few of my favourite pictures. My personal favourite is the muddy dress hem.

Stitch Retreat

I have just returned from teaching a long weekend Stitch Retreat at Stoke Rochford Hall near Grantham. The theme was Precious Memories and the students worked really hard to produce a variety of pieces based on different techniques. I have put 20 photographs on to my Facebook page HERE if you want to have a look at what they achieved. You don't have to request to be my friend through Facebook to see them as this is my business page. I often post different things there from this blog so if you want to follow that too then tick "like" on the top of the Mandy Pattullo Textile Artist page.
