Textile Treasures at Denman College

If you expect the Womens’s Institute’s Denman College, to be all about Ham, Jam and cake, then think again. Prepare yourself to be bowled over  – it’s Needlework heaven.

I was there for a day’s visit with my fellow Paper Dollies on a guided tour of the house and grounds. It’s a beautiful venue.  It wasn’t until we were shown the studio space, that my heart really skipped a beat. Exquisite hand embroidery, Dorset Buttons collections and vintage needlework lined the walls. I was in absolute heaven.
Which one is your favourite?
The perfect day was rounded off with a visit to the College Fabric Shop…
… where I found these fabulous, vintage treasures.  Happy Days x

Game of Thrones, Hand & Lock and Arnold’s Attic.

So Happy! My photos of the Game of Thrones piece have been published by Hand & Lock for their newsletter.
In March, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see The Hardhome Embroidery, and to meet Anthea Godfrey, the Project Manager for the piece.

It’s a joy to be able to share these images with the readers at Hand & Lock.

Look out for this gorgeous embroidery at the Knit and Stitch Shows later this year.

*** Update: There’s a new book available, all about the stunning Costumes from Season 1 through to Season 8 !
