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'

Grow your blog weekend - the outcome so far!

Well so far this weekend I've had so much fun with the fantastic GYB party. Never knew there were just so many wonderful people out there; better than any library membership. Fantastic stories of 'real' life, funny and sad. Talented makers; sewing, knitting, crochet, jewellers, scrap bookers, painters and photographers. A chance to travel the world, without packing my case and braving the check-in and journey. I'm so grateful to Vicki for organising this and to all the people that have stopped by and even more so to those of you that have decided to take the plunge and follow me 🌠

I belong to a little online group called 'Be Creative' and the administrator encourages members to post (on Facebook) their artistic activities for one weekend per month.

I've been working on a piece of gold work based on a stained glass window in Reims, France. Photos aren't the best because my camera is out of battery power, so I've used my mobile. I'm not risking a trip out into soggy Somerset lanes today.

 

                   

 
Till next time, Gilli - off to do some more Family Tree work now😊

  5. Beautiful and very striking work - I love the metallic fabric. My friend does gold work and it's something I would love to try - it's on my list of things I must have a go at before I'm past it!!!
