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'

New Year Resolution

My buzz word for this year is USE - use what I have in my stash, use my time more effectively, use the books and resources I've accumulated over the years, use my knowledge of textile and embroidery techniques and use advice, guidance, comments and criticism with good faith
 
So far this year, I've been playing with some ideas for book covers; at the embellishing group I worked with a piece of woollen fabric and polyester 'printed' headscarves (use of stash) and produced a piece which will cover a book and also make some cards

Under Side with fibres added
This piece is crazy patchwork, lace, hand stitching, beads and buttons
