Profile Information
- What textiles are you interested in?
- Mainly hand stitching, mainly counted thread techniques. An experienced dabbler in many other textile crafts, but it's traditional hand embroidery I always come back to.
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- I'm still learning! Inspirational school lessons from Barbara Snook, a stint working as a sales assistant at The Needlewoman Shop, hours and hours of reading, researching and experimenting, particularly old needlework books, and about 50 years of just having fun with thread and fabric.
- 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.
- Better known online as Sue Tortoise, because there are a lot of Joneses out there. I hope I can be some help to others while I'm here: I enjoy researching and problem solving. I'm sure I'll learn a lot here too.
