Talks

I love to share stories and images of my travels in India, and my delight in block print and embroidery, indigo and Islamic geometric design. I've been fortunate to meet and observe talented artisans, some specialising in traditional skills and some who are applying a contemporary approach and seeking out new worldwide markets.

I aim to capture the mood of a place in my images and of course to acquire interesting samples along the way.

We all enjoy a textile extravaganza so contact me if your group would be interested in an illustrated talk online, or in person where the event can be genuinely tactile.

Statement lichens on an estate boundary wall a few miles from home. Bruce unmoved by my interest in these yellow dots this morning.

A flock of Tinbird kits restocked the shelves today. Pocket sized tins, with everything you need for a wee birdie stitchery on the move. 
Find them and other little tin projects on the  shelves in the Tart’s store.
Autumn shades in tonight’s little stitchery. 
The twilight/crepuscule/gloaming is sneaking in earlier…
And just like that, the seasons switched🍂

My block print samples on scraps of vintage/new cottons/linens, tidied and sewn together yesterday.
This will be my autumn travelling stitchery project, using some lush threads.

A wee Saturday sewing day with this cloth I bought from @metaphorracha some considerable time ago. Based in Bangalore and with excellent eco credentials, it is a company with heart. I hope I can visit again one day.
