At last I have finished my patchwork quilt.


I started this quilt 10 years ago, I had only been working on it for a few months and when we moved it got packed away and forgotten about. When I was having a sort out I found it again and hey presto, I have now finished it !!

Received a textile postcard today

It was like christmas had come early today when I saw my post. Amongst the bills was the most beautiful textile postcard produced by Lorna. Hope she likes the postcard I made and sent her.

The Open studio is coming to a close

I have been busy creating new pieces for my open studio, exploring the art of silk papermaking, which I have found to have a great sculture quality. It will hold its shape once machine stitched damped and then dried with a hair dryer.

Hi to anyone who visits. I am new to all things online. So my page is developing slowly as I get used to all the processes. So please be patient and visit me again.
I love creating individual pieces using a variety of surface techniques. I am experimenting with Batik as a base for machine and hand embroidery at the moment.

Claire Sorry to hear you have had trouble loading the site. I have no idea why the site would load slowly for you. I have not had any problems and have just come back from New Zealand where I had a slow connection. Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

Thanks for letting me pick your brains, Claire.
I have used Model Magic - it's great, isn't it. I have just finished some textile jewellery cuffs, and hope to post them up. Next I want to make some silk paper for stitching on. Happy experimenting!

Thank you for such lovely comments, Claire. Embellishing, hand embroidery and beading seem to be made for each other!
