Artist Statement

I’ve enjoyed working with threads and fabrics from quite a young age. I’ve been a member of The Embroiderers’ Guild for 43 years and during that time have completed City and Guilds Part 1 and 2 in Creative Embroidery. I’ve tutored workshops on a range of embroidery skills and beading projects. I am happy to take commissions. I have made boxes and special caskets for friends and relations who wish to have a “special fabric” memory. I am enjoying making small gift items but am willing to discuss larger projects on a “one off” basis. My first involvement with DOA was in 2012 when I joined forces with Debbie, Val and Joy at the “Textile House” in New Mills. We’ve been encouraged by the positive response we’ve had to our textile work.
