Lovely talented and inspiring members of the Winchester Embroiderers Guild showing their 3D machine embroidery pieces off. We stitched onto a soluble fabric, dipped the fabric in warm water and watched the fabric disappear leaving behind our 3D machine embroidery! Fabulous!! Thankyou everyone for a lovely day, keep up the good work and happy stitching.  

My newest piece, "Mermaids" all ready for the Contemporary Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey, Mill Marsh Park, Bovey Tracey, Devon. Friday 7th to Sunday 9th June.  wwwcraftsatboveytracey.co.uk

Phoenix Stitchers and all their hard work after a lovely day last Wednesday at our Pictorial Machine Embroidery Workshop in Petersfield .
What a inspiring, talented and  modest group of stitchers they were, everyone worked so hard and created beautiful pictures and pieces that I hope very much will be used with pride and hung upon  each and everyones walls.
Well done everyone, and thank you for making me so welcome.
Happy stitching and keep up the good work!

In celebration of spring finally arriving I have made this little piece of dogs leaping and chasing spring blossom.
What joy it is to see the tress in bright green leaf and with blossom on them, what a long time we have had to wait!

Gathering lavender

This piece is called "Gathering Lavender" It is part of the collection I am taking it to the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate next week, my first big fair of 2013. A rather optomistic piece for this very cold start to the spring in anticipation to the arrival of summer.

Well done everybody and  happy stitching!
