My Activities

I am a textile artist living in Somerset, South West England. I love everything to do with fabric, threads, yarn and mixed media. I'm a member of the newly formed TextileSet, a group of enthusiastic stitchers from Dorset & Somerset, the online group Near & Far, West Country Embroiderers and Quirky Quilters.
I love the county of Somerset and enjoy walking my dog, Indie. I travel with her around England and France at every opportunity and we both have fun in our 'cottage garden'

Warped Imagination

This Saturday past I taught a workshop at our branch of the Embroiderers' Guild. The day didn't get off to a good start because I had a tyre blow out down the narrow lane of my village on the way to the main road - two horse riders and a 'leadless' dog in front and a car behind; my car pulled itself to the right and I had to manoeuver to miss the horses and the ditch!!! Anyway, a friend came to collect me and all the tutoring stuff and then, after a cup of tea.... and a few biscuits ;-) we started.  Halfway through the morning, one of the ladies had a sewing machine fire!! doomed or what. Well despite all the problems, some lovely work was produced and these are a few photos from the day. I hope you like them.
