A new year and lots to do. I’m working on new workshops and have regular classes at The Sewing Shed in Ilkley , Dutton’s for Buttons in York and Oh Sew Sweet in Barnsley . At the end of January I am doing a workshop for the Embroiderers Guild looking at Indian mirror work , and it has been lovely looking back at my visits to India and getting all my Indian fabrics out as I prepare for it.
I am also continuing my research and work on Durham/North Country quilting and have just finished an embroidered central design from a whole cloth quilt.
This quilted piece completed in December is using colourful thread to show off the amazing designs of the Northern quilts.
This year I will continue to study these beautiful quilts from our rich heritage and celebrate the intricate folk designs.
Happy Sewing and Quilting for 2020
