Autumn in middle England.
In which it starts to feel like autumn, although it doesn’t look particularly golden… I’m not sure that we’re going to have a red and gold autumn this year. I may be wrong, but it’s already late into October and there are precious few signs. In the last couple of weeks I’ve been up to…

A Celtic Mystery
Originally posted on Dreaming In Stitches: A Slow Stitch Story… It’s not every time I make a piece of stitched textile art that I could tell you for certain where the inspiration came from, often they seem to evolve from a process of stitching meditation, but that’s not the case with my latest work, this one…

Rock, Water, Cloth…
Originally posted on Dreaming In Stitches: Being a slow artist has its challenges – not the least of which, is how to blog about a ‘work in progress’. I quickly realised that a weekly update here on my stitched tapestries would end up more like a ‘spot the difference’ competition. In recent months, I’ve gravitated…

Still Raining…
Just about the last thing you want after three weeks camping in Scotland, is to come home with a laundry pile as big as Ben Nevis and experience four consecutive days of rain – just saying…
