Profile Information
- What textiles are you interested in?
- My favourite is stumpwork although I still have much to learn
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- At the local adult education department I started after retiring from work.
- Let us know you are not a spammer. Is there anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group?
- I am retired from nursing but still do a few hours as a home carer. My embroidery started just over two years ago and since then I have put on a few pounds in weight and the garden is not so cared for now that stumpwork has taken over. I was delighted to win a local competition last year but that was probably beginners luck.
