Profile Information

What aspect of textiles are you interested in?

Hand embroidery. I do counted cross stitch and traditional embroidery, and I have recently become keen on crazy quilting and fabric postcards - thanks to Stitchin Fingers! I collect old embroidered linens of all kinds, including aprons, and they can be seen on my blogs.

Where did you learn your textle skills?

I learnt basic stitching skills when I was about 6 years old at primary school, and later at secondary school. I became interested in embroidery again in my 30's, and when I was 40-something, I joined the Embroidery Guild of Victoria, where I took the basic embroidery course "Elements Of Stitching".

Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??

I'm 61 years young, married with no children, and before I retired, I worked as a personal carer for elderly and disabled people.

On the 20th of this month I head to Oklahoma for my first Stitching Retreat with my dear friend - she has taught me so much...I am so blessed to have her in my life. I joined the local guild and would like to start going to at least one of their get togethers. It is so much fun to enjoy your interests with others.Delete Comment

I saw in our newspaper, and will try, using peacock feathers on a sprig of greens for a holiday decoration. Since I just got new blue carpets in my living room and did this year's tree in silver, white, and blue ornaments, I'm hoping to make this decoration. I only have 2 peacock feathers...there's one in our neighborhood who once a year wanders. Keep up the good work! YOur work is beautiful!
