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).

.....and some lovely comments from the 2019 Yearbook of the Embroiderers' Guild Yorkshire and Humber Region:
Sheffield branch - The 'Beast from the East' hit us in March (2018) so we had to delay our spring workshop until August. It was well worth the wait as we had an excellent day with Deborah Mullins learning about Bethlehem Couching and creating our own less formal pieces. The success of this day can be measured by the number of completed pieces that were on display at our AGM.
Airedale branch - I had been tipped off ...at the Regional Day 2017 that Deborah Mullins was moving into the area, and to get her booked. Deborah came along in the November and enthralled members with her talk on Palestinian embroidery, and members asked for a Day School....we are going to make our own felt at the end of January to work on.
