Jo Colwill http://www.cowslipworkshops.co.uk/ kindly put my name forward to show Kirstie Allsopp how to machine embroider onto soluble fabric for Kirstie's new programme to be shown on Channel 4 later on in the autumn. The filming took place in Nottinghill in London a couple of weeks ago.
The whole experience was daunting, terrifying and exciting all at the same time, and now its all over I loved every bit of it! We were taken to London in a silver Range Rover driven by Paul, who was just lovely and very calming. Kirstie Allsopp was very nice indeed and very professional, she and the team made us very welcome, as did Ellie who phoned me everyday leading up to the filming with different schedules, locations and times, so much so that my head spun. I was very glad to go with Jo, we encouraged each other and I hope kept each other calm too. You just never know what's around the corner, each time the telephone rings!

now back with a bump and reality once more, I'm knee deep in making pieces for the orders I took at The British Craft Trade Fair back in April, and I can't believe it's already June!!

I am thrilled to say that I am in this months edition of Embroidery Magazine. With lots of pictures of my work and a really well written article by Caroline Rees, it's a good read and an inspiring magazine.

Clever members of the Leamington Spa Embroiderers Guild, thank you for a lovely workshop!

I'm in the process of making my Folksy shop! all I have to do now is fill it full of things!
