Welcome

Hello,

and welcome to my textile treasure house!

I am a stitcher, a maker, a dyer, an occasional printmaker, a sharer and a lover of words. I enjoy creating unique stitching kits and fabric packs, hand dyeing threads and sourcing quirky haberdashery for stitchers at all levels.

Explore the shop for these and more, read my tales, invite me to talk to or run a workshop for your group...

I’m looking forward to welcoming participants arriving for our gentle stitching retreat in a spacious rural farmhouse. The shop is coming with me!

Today’s life lesson:
Stop rushing
Slow down, breathe deeply, use all your senses, seek out the small, the quiet, the overlooked, revel in the simple things, be grateful for small mercies.

I’ve dyed these vintage wool blanket pieces and they await your tender ministrations in the form of hand stitching or felting.
It is the softest warmest fabric to stitch into and your needle will love it.🧵🪡

Found this wee gem in my photos, from an early Wednesday Windowsill.

The more I read the less I wanted to put it down. Loved the characters and all their quirks.

Turns out I had to make red ones too!
For boro-stitchers I have made packs of red or blue scraps, large and small, to feel your habit…
Thirty five pieces in a pack and UK post free…

🤗Most things I’ve done this weekend have not gone as planned. But the veritable ocean of dal which has burbled away in the slow cooker this afternoon is a WIN!
