Having a stitchy time…
You know how it is, one day it’s January and the next it’s nearly May… The very observant will also notice that this is not the palette I began 2016 using. That piece is sitting patiently, waiting for me to complete the one you can see in progress below. I’ve noticed it before, some pieces just demand…

Happy New Year!
A little late I know, but I hope you have a wonderful 2016! What a year 2015 turned out to be. The highlights for me were meeting so many fabulous people at the Discover group exhibitions we held in June and November. I feel enormously lucky to be part of such a supportive and energetic…

Stitchy Purdah
Well, all that frenetic activity back in the autumn seems like such a long time ago now. I think it’s safe to say that I took the slow practice of hand stitching to the edge, in the run up to our exhibition last November, which with Christmas following hard on its heels, made for a…

Back in the frame…
Well, the first Discover Original Art Fair was a great success! Very many thanks to everyone who came along to Ivinghoe and supported us.

It’s the final countdown…

I’m going to be showing a selection of my large stitched tapestries at Ivinghoe, and in addition, I’ll be introducing two new stitched triptychs. You’ll…

Excited…
Well, it seems you just can’t stop us once we get going… After having such a good time exhibiting at Invinghoe in September, a group of the most local artists have decided to do it again at the end of November. The venue at Ivinghoe Community Hub is ideal for showing artwork and as I’ve…

A sneak preview…
Just off the frame – Hidcote Blues. It seems an eternity ago now, but back at the beginning of June, at what turned out to be the start of a stunning summer, I travelled across the Cotswolds to visit Hidcote Manor, near Chipping Campden. It was one of those amazing June days, early enough in…
