Having a passion for
textiles and a love of
nature has given me a
wealth of inspiration
for my embroidered
pieces of work.
I like to work in a free
and spontaneous way
being inspired by the
colours and textures of
the fabric I am working
with.
This is particularly
true when constructing
my patchwork quilts; I
often tear fabrics and
then patch and piece
them together in a
random fashion, adding
machine and hand
stitching, and finally
embellishing with beads
and buttons.

work, or to commission an article, please

The fabrics I use are
quite diverse, ranging from
glorious silks to recycled
vintage fabrics which helps the
quilts take on a subtlety and
charm more associated with
antique fabrics. |
I
also get a great deal
of pleasure from making hand made
merino wool felt, either
to add to an embroidery
or to make an entire
piece.
Apart from patchwork
quilts I enjoy making
rag rugs, wall hangings,
cushions, bags, spinning
a variety of fibres, and
painting.
Completing City and
Guilds Part 1 and 2 in
Creative Embroidery
during the 90's was a
real journey of
discovery, improving my
design capabilities and
extending my embroidery
skills. |
