Contact Magazine – I’ve an article in the new edition!

Members of the Embroiderers’ Guild will have just received their January copy of Contact Magazine.

At the Knitting and Stitching Show 2019 in Alexandra Palace, I got chatting to Anthea Godfrey and Pat Tempest. They were very interested in my pieces and asked me to write an article for the Magazine. It’s just been published!

I talk about a creative journey in 2019, through my Embroiderers’ Guild Exhibition pieces – “Take Time to Smell the Roses” and “Lancashire Cheese and Onion Pie”, and also my the piece I exhibited at The Festival of Quilts – “The First Day in the Mill”.

It features a photo of “Time for Tea”

Thank you to the Guild for sharing my work. I hope I’ve inspire others to gave a go and exhibit their embroidery.

Middle East Textile Art

A little textile inspiration from my YouTube Textile Collection. Today it features Middle East Textile Art from the ‘Connections’ Exhibition at The Festival of Quilts 2019.

Have you created textile art using geometric pattern? 
These beautiful quilts were created by the Middle East Quilt Artists, whose members have a worked or are living in the Middle East.

The region’s colours, Islamic patterns and iconic images are beautifully recreated in Middle East Textile Art. Techniques include surface design, patchwork, appliqué and embroidery.
