Welcome

Hello,

and welcome to my textile treasure house!

I’m a stitcher, maker, occasional printmaker and dyer. I’m hugely inspired by handmade textiles. From African batik and mud prints to neat Japanese geometrics and vintage linens, I share the joy by creating small kits and packs.

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

❤️Need a few close shades for a project? 

🧡Looking for colour inspiration?

💛Want to build your thread palette without buying to excess?

💚These wee gems will help. I select shades, measure, cut, twist and label them. These mini collections of stranded embroidery cottons contain 2 metres of each of six shades. If you’re a single strand stitcher like me, that’s 144 half metre lengths! 

Stranded Selections - seventeen of them - are on the Threads shelf now!

Wednesday (not a) windowsill
Found a blackbird eggshell in the garden yesterday which sparked this wee gathering of strawberry flowers and bluebells.
