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'

The Story of my First Crazy Patchwork Block

Back at the end of March, I started an online course with Kathy Shaw http://www.shawkl.com/  to learn how to work a crazy patchwork block. The story unfolds with the photos below:

 Gathering supplies!



















Piecing the block fabric together.


















 Embroidering the seams!

























 Ribbon embroidery.
























 Adding charms and lace!
































The finished masterpiece!
