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...

Today’s temporary workspace
Whizzing through the sunny landscape and making little stitches. Definitely a happy place🤗
🌒Dark morning kitchen windowsill. It’s wild and windy in this wee corner of the world - definitely a woolly hat needed to walk with the bold boy shortly 🐾

The retreat takes place late March in a comfortable rural farmhouse just 30 mins from Edinburgh.
Three nights, two full days to relax, enjoy workshops, stitch, knit, read, walk and eat good food (and 🍰).

To learn more go to my Tart’s Art website ⬆️ read the blog post for details and to download an application form - you’ve got till midnight on 10th!
🧶🧵📕Bags within bags on my train journey home from Aberdeen. Knitting and stitching and book on iPad and snacks and water and charger 
and and and … 
I possibly overestimated what I might get done🙄
🧳🎒Packing lots and lots of amazing quality handwork into my case and rucksack. All produced by Indian artisans from several different states - and all off to Aberdeen with me tomorrow. 
A win-win - I can talk about my favourite textiles and I get lots of 🚂 time to knit and stitch🤗
