Profile Information
- What textiles are you interested in?
- I have been stitching Jacobean and Elizabethan style crewel embroidery for over 40 years and now do it in miniature (dolls house) scale. I design and teach it and am now learning Stumpwork. Also love English band samplers and have done a couple of these on 40 count linen and have done blackwork.
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- A woman in my town taught crewel embroidery to me, then I did some Erica Wilson pieces and started working on my own designs.
- Is there anything else you'd like other members of Stitchin' Fingers to know about you? Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself by way of introduction.
- I hope folks will look at my crewel embroidery on my blogs and website. I also collect miniatures and dolls houses of a very high standard and you may view them at http://cookiez123.blogspot.com. Do let me hear from you at cookiemax@aol.com. Thanks!

Shirley said… Thank you so much for your kind comment on my work. It has a hazy look because of the photography. I started this off as a teaching piece, and it was a bit like topsy...it grew and grew. My son and his wife have it it hanging on their wall. You may have seen the full picture on my blog. I will send you the link in an email.

Margaret said… thanks Cookie, I have looked at your blog, I have a great friend who is doing up a house at the moment, her father made it for her when she was a child and now at 51 she is renevating it and getting a great deal of pleasure from it. I was down visiting her for a few days and came back home yesterday. Here in England it seems doing houses is becoming popular again, I do not think I could work that small but I love to see the work others do. Thankyou for directing me to your blog.
