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).
