The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
The best bits from The Knitting and Stitching Show 2018 at Alexandra Palace.

Autumn is fast approaching and that ‘preparing for winter’ feel has kicked in. I’ve been thinking of indoor textile projects to work on in the studio and I’ve been reviewing some of the footage I took over the wonderful Summer we have had. The Kaffe Fasset and Candace Bahouth exhibition has left me with such wonderful memories. Everytime I think of it, my first thoughts are of the vibrancy of colour, then I think of texture and reflecting light.

There are lots more videos to view on Youtube. Be the first to see my latest textile journeys by Clicking the Link and following me.
