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

I’m so happy that an article about my work has appeared in Stitch Magazine Issue 123.

I was contacted in November 2019, to write a piece about ‘Take Time to Smell the Roses’. It appears alongside the other winners from the Embroiderers’ Guild 2019 – ‘Life’s Rich Pattern’ Challenge.

This follows another mention of my work in Contact Magazine – I talk about a creative journey in 2019, through my Embroiderers’ Guild Exhibition piece – “Lancashire Cheese and Onion Pie”, and also the piece I exhibited at The Festival of Quilts – “The First Day in the Mill”.

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

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!

Exhibiting Three Embroideries with the Embroiderers’ Guild

I’m exhibiting three embroideries with the Embroiderers’ Guild this year. It was a wonderful to be reunited with them at The Knitting & Stitching Show 2019 at Alexandra Palace. (The light levels were a little low, hence the varied qualities of the photos)

It’s been a while since I’ve seen them – ‘Take Time to Smell the Roses’ was posted off in February and appeared on The Guild Stand and the other two (‘Cheese and Onion Pie‘ & ‘Time for Tea‘) posted at the end of August this year, were part of the Guild’s ‘Home’ Exhibition. All the pieces can be seen as they tour with the Show across the UK.

UPDATE: Thank you to my dear fellow Stitcher (and mum from school) for these photos. It warms my heart that students have been photographing my embroideries.
