About me

 I am a member of the Embroiderers' Guild, now working mainly in hand embroidery.  20 years ago I studied patchwork and quilting through City & Guilds but in the last few years I discovered a love of hand embroidery and was awarded a  City & Guilds Medal for Excellence in 2017 for Creative Textiles and a further prize from the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (pictured left at St James' Palace with the Master, Joff Hamilton, and the Princess Royal).
To hear an interview with me on the Stitchery Stories podcast click here:
I give talks about Palestinian dress and Bethlehem embroidery, and run workshops for interested groups. This autumn I have been running workshops at Word of Mouth, Valley Road, Hebden Bridge HX7 7BZ , the final one of which is now fully booked. But....
