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'

Activities for This Week

I seem to have been rejuvenated since the New Year and am spending less time using the internet and much more time stitching/knitting and designing.

I finished another knitted hoodie for my grandaughter - I'm very pleased with it and I found some 'fishy' buttons for our little baby fish.

Some time last year I started a quilt using the Pfaff Embroidery machine - it's designed by Sweet Pea embroidery designs, a few of the blocks follow.





And lastly, my cogs have been whirling with ideas for the Near & Far textile work - been trying some rubbings with wax crayons and markel sticks, washed over with intense ink - hopefully it will transfer well to fabric.








It's not what you know, but what you do with what you know

  1. Looks like you're having fun! I've gotten back into my sewing room too, after taking a couple of weeks to recoup after Christmas.
