The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
I’m pleased to announce that ‘Take Time to Smell the Roses’ has been chosen by Kristian Day to be included in the Letchworth Broadway Open Studio 2020.
This year, due to Covid-19, the exhibition will be on-line only.
The Open Studio will be available to view in the coming weeks.
A little textile inspiration from my YouTube Textile Collection. Today it features the beautiful and detailed botanical hand embroideries by artist Hillary Waters Fayle.
Each and every project is a “connection between nature and the human hand”. She collects, sorts and carefully prepares each leaf before beginning the process of marking and slowly hand stitching.
In this YouTube, Hillary shares her fragile work and explains how she creates her art. Her latest commission will be displayed in the US Embassy in Sri Lanka.

You can find more inspiring embroidery in my previous post featuring textile art from The Society for Embroidered Work.
Very happy news. I’ve been ‘Commended for the Beryl Dean Award for Hand Embroidery’ for my work “The Sound of the Kenwood Chef”. The piece was my submission to this year’s The Embroiderers’ Guild UK Members’ Challenge. I can’t stop smiling.
Allowing for the current Covid 19 situation, the plan is that all the Challenge artworks will be on exhibition at a future Knitting & Stitching Show.
