My mission's simple, create POSITIVE and EMPOWERING Textiles Art, Embroidery, Illustration & Pattern Design! 

*** SO MUCH GOING ON *** I am so pleased to see all my work up at @watlingtonartshow private view this evening along with some very talented artists and makers! And if that wasn't enough there were a few red dots on my pieces throughout the evening 😍 the show is on until SUNDAY so make sure you take a look... As if that wasn't enough, @prismtextiles FRAGILITY exhibition is on for ONE MORE DAY at the @rbsagallery so make sure you don't miss the second outing for this fab exhibition! Finally the ERTF exhibition is on at @stalbansmuseums until 3rd November so a little time to head along and see some interesting textile artwork in a beautiful setting! I need a lie down 😂 Huge thank you to everyone who has been to see these exhibitions so far! Happy weekend all x
I just wanted to quickly share with you all the @prismtextiles FRAGILITY exhibition is open at the @rbsagallery in Birmingham until the 19th October, there are new pieces of work, new configurations of work as seen at @hoxton_arches and a beautifully curated shop area with lots of lovely new pieces! I thought I would share some of the pretty pieces from our shop and save the exhibition as a bit of a surprise to those who are visiting (PRIVATE VIEW IS ON SATURDAY, DM FOR DETAILS). The first shot is of some of my brand new embroidered necklaces, produced especially for this show (which I am rather proud of even if I do say so myself), the second pic shows even more of these lovely necklaces on the wall with a gorgeous piece by @jessica_rosestitch, there are also fabulous earrings and brooches by @janevwalkley and seed pods by @julieannelongartist!! This is just a tiny snippet of all that is available in the @prismtextiles shop that I managed to snap while installing... And then there is a whole exhibition to peruse, definitely worth a visit!
Hope everyone has had a fab week, I thought I would share a little bit of exciting news on this flippin' freezin' Friday evening... I have been accepted as a full member of The Society of Embroidered Work! A very exciting accolade even if I do say so myself! @societyforembroideredwork promote that stitched art is ART and I couldn't agree more, so thank you S.E.W I really am thrilled 😁
Well last week was a bit of a whirlwind, unfortunately this ridiculous weather has caused a little bit of damage to the workshop area in @happydashery so we have had to rearrange the embroidery workshop for 5th November, tickets can be booked in the shop or from the @happydashery website. I took a little bit of time away from social media this weekend, mostly switched off and had a fab time with friends. Feeling fully refreshed and organising LOTS of exciting events, exhibitions and fayres for (dare I say it) the festive season! Will share all as soon as it doesn't feel completely wrong!! So for now, here is another little piece in a beautifully autumnal colour palette at @stalbansmuseums until 3rd November! Have a wonderful week everyone.
WOW, what a wonderful lot you are. Thank you so much for your amazing feedback on my biggest ever #rugtufting piece on @stalbansmuseums !! But that is not all for this week 😍 SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS! I will be holding an embroidery workshop at the fantastic @happydashery on Wednesday 2nd October! I cannot wait to bring this modern embroidery workshop to this beautiful shop. Tickets are limited so make sure that you head over to the @happydashery website to book your ticket through their online shop ASAP. If you have any questions just pop me a DM. Hope you are all having a Happy Friday !!!
Just wanted to share a few of the exciting things going on here... these pics are from the private view at @stalbansmuseums at the weekend, a huge thank you to @noblematt_ for the pics! The exhibition looks fantastic and I couldn't be prouder to have my largest piece on display in this lovely setting! The full details are available by clicking the link in my bio, along with a full list of upcoming events including the exciting additions of @mk.handmade.and.vintage winter extravaganza, @rbsagallery with @prismtextiles and @watlingtonartshow !

It's all going on today!! I am all set up here at the @spectacularts1 festival in beautiful Bedford Park for the day along with a whole host of fab artists @holmes_sweet_holmes @caitersssss @_sarasayer @mammattorganics so make sure you come and say hello! It is the first outing for some brand new wall hangings and necklaces too! It is also the first day for the #ERTF exhibition at @stalbansmuseums which I cannot wait to see in person! There are also two more weeks in the wonderful @happydashery... So much choice 😁 hope you all have a fab weekend!
I really wanted to share this with you at the beginning of the week but best made plans and all that!! I could not be more pleased and proud to be back at the fantastic @happydashery. A whole host of wall hangings, punch needle necklaces, felt flowers, plants, cacti and art prints have been in this beautiful shop since Tuesday. So make sure you head in over the next three weeks to see what myself and the other local makers have in store for you. If you really love a particular piece let me know or head over now as pieces will be switching up throughout the next three weeks. Hope everyone has a great weekend 🥳
Wow, what a week it's been, off to the MOST AMAZING WEDDING!!! Now back in the UK changing up the studio to fend off the post-wedding blues (see my Insta stories) and putting together what I will be selling at the fantastic @happydashery from the 26 August. These small wall hangings will be making an appearance for the first time in the shop, each one is hand tufted using deadstock yarn, so you can feel fully fab about your purchase. There are a whole host of designs too, but each one is different so if you love one, snap it up quick! There are a few comission spots left too for September, so DM me ASAP if you are interested! Have a lovely long weekend everyone
Some of you may have noticed that there have been a few exciting bits popping up on my Insta stories... Well I am very excited to let you know that these punch needle necklaces and my small wall hangings will be available in @happydashery from 26 August for 4 whole weeks 😍. I am SO pleased to be back in this gem of a shop I thought I would share a little bit of a behind the scenes shot... playing about with how best to display these fluffy pieces of fun! Keep an eye out for more of the wall hangings that will be available in store too! Have a great week everyone.
