This coming Thursday I’ll be back @thegalleryatwaterperrygardens…. Can’t quite believe how quickly it’s come around again. I’ll be there 11-4 and you can see work progressing. I’ve listed all the dates above so if you can’t make it this month there’s plenty more opportunities. The piece I was working on last month is finished so it’ll be something new under the needle! Waterperry is an absolute treat to visit with gorgeous gardens, plant nursery, gift shops and a lovely tearoom as well as the beautiful gallery where you’ll find me! #artinstitch #embroideredtextileart #textileart #stitchedart #inspiration

If you’ve followed me for a long time you’ll know I love a #fridayfinish … so satisfying to wrap up a piece in time for the weekend. This one is a bit different for me but was quite liberating. Enjoyed the intensive stitching and the overlay of colours. #textileart #embroidreredtextiles #stitchedart #artinstitch

In the build up to ‘The stitched garden’ exhibition in the autumn I will be working @thegalleryatwaterperrygardens on the last Thursday of every month 11am-4pm. This provides a unique opportunity for visitors to see work in progress and watch as I build a body of work which will feature in the show in September. My first session is this Thursday 29th Jan so if you’d like to see what I’m up to and how it’s done then pop in and say hello. It’s a beautiful gallery in a gorgeous setting with great tearooms too.

Visited our lovely friends yesterday who have moved to a new place and got to see these two old pieces of work in their new setting. Happy to say they sit beautifully in their new home and although I often cringe when I see old work, I didn’t feel like that about these two. #oldworknewhome #textileart #artintextiles #artinstitch #stitchedart #artinstitch #machineembroidery #embroideredtextiles #textileartist #inspiration

Busy choosing images to be made into prints for a forthcoming exhibition with a theme of flowers in the landscape. I’m working on new originals for this too but currently trying to get my head around choosing prints for the browser.
