I have been stitching since I was eight and am a self-confessed thread junkie. I
buy amazing threads, get them home and wonder what I shall do with them! I make
bags, panels, pictures and cushions. My work includes technically correct
embroidered pieces, freestyle work, and I make and embellish felt. I use
whatever technique I feel suits the project and I’ve always got at least three
or four things on the go. I also knit for fun, and do extreme knitting making
rugs and throws. Crewelwork is my favourite technique, and I love to experiment
with threads and fabrics using a crewel design style. My current inspirations
are butterflies and dragons. I taught myself many techniques and in 2005
achieved my RSN Certificate. I have worked for an embroidery company but now
prefer to work freelance as I can ‘play’ more. I ran Zweigart’s UK distribution
for a while, which gave me a good insight into different fabrics and how they
can be used.
