All about the Illustrated Talks
04th August 2022
04th August 2022
Why did I choose to do these particular talks?
Inspiration often comes from a question, and one of these lead to researching where patchwork block patterns came from.
These stories hold such bravery, such ingenuity and such trust and they speak of coded communications that became such an important part freedom for those who survived.

I'm really excited! Finally I am able to run workshops on some of my favourite subjects and makes!
The first of the workshops is all about Kawandi - a lovely form of Quilting as you Go and such a relaxing method of creating something beautiful from small fabric pieces.
I will be running these workshops once a month, creating a project, teaching skills and having fun along the way.

Mindfulness Slow Stitching - a little time for you...
09th February 2020
09th February 2020
Sewing with slow mindfulness allows us to become quiet, retreat into memories and just be in the moment. There are no rules, no expectations, no time limits or clocks to watch, no right way other than the gentle enjoyment of the task and the thoughts that come with that.
Inspired by this, and my love of hand stitching, I have designed some Slow Stitch kits for you to enjoy - they are full of lovely textures and exciting extras, hand cut templates, carefully chosen notions and some inspiration to get you started.
