I have an very active interest in all aspects of textiles and love to design and stitch. Currently hand embroidery and crazy quilting dominate but I also do a bit of freeform crochet, sewing and costuming.
Where did you learn your textle skills?
School when I was a child. After doing a fine arts degree I completed a post graduate studies in textiles then went on to do a masters too!
Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
When doing crazy quilts do you add the buttons and beads before you piece the blocks together or after I'm wondering about breaking needles on the maybe the buttons and beads
thankyou

Thank you Sharon,

Sharon, some of 'my friends' want me to set out a design module. I have all the material from my teaching days but wondered how best to display it on the website. Photos on my page or in one of the headings. Maybe you could advise please ? I must admit I dont find my way around the website too easilly yet !

I am curious... I see you are from Canberra Australia. Did you go to Country Bumpkin's Beating Around the Bush in October? I have so many embroidery friends from around the world that attended. They all had a wonderful time.
I would have loved to have gone myself. All the best embroidery teachers from all over the world were there teaching. I just couldn't face 31 hours of airports and flighting time. It seemed like a very long way to go for just six days.
