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

January was a busy month preparing new work for an upcoming exhibition. It opens on Feb 15th. Please note the gallery is only open Fri/Sat/Sun 11-4. There will be new originals as well as prints and cards available to buy. I especially loved making this snowdrop piece as it felt very seasonal. #snowdropseason #florallandscape #textileart #artinstitch #stitchedart #embroideredart #machineembroidery #fabricandthread

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. Which ones would you choose? #flowersinthelandscape #landscapeart #artinstitch #stitchedart #textileart #womensart #embroidery #embroideredtextileart #freemachineembroidery #freemotionembroidery #artshare

I’m @buckinghamshirecraftguild today and the gallery is looking fabulous after a fresh lick of paint and a rehang. Lots of lovely work to see including new work from our newest members, printmakers @sheiladerosa and Julie Brown whose work is gracing our main wall. Do pop in to see what’s new and what our makers are up to. #guildgallery #buckscraftguild #textileart #stitchedart #artinstitch #fabricandthread #embroideredtextiles #textileartist #inspiration

Who is ready for some snow? Not sure if we’ll get much more than wet sleet here but many places are likely to get the real thing tonight! #snowscape #snowscene #textileartist #winterwonderland #stitchedart #artinstitch #embroideredtextiles #machineembroidery #textileart #arttextiles #freemachineembroidery

As these guys prepare to take to the skies tonight pulling a sleigh full of gifts and a jolly bloke in red…… I want to wish friends, family and followers a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful 2025. Thank you so much for all your support right from the very exciting sales of original pieces down to all the people who buy a card and every single comment and like on my posts. It all means so much to me and I’m so grateful. Thanks everyone for your continuing interest in what I do, which is what I love! Hope you’ll all stick with me in 2025.

When I began this piece it was unseasonably mild outside but finishing it off these last couple of days the weather has tuned itself into my work 😂. ‘Snow leaden skies’ is now finished and tomorrow the weather is due to turn wet and windy. Maybe I need to start a bright, crisp and sunny winter piece to encourage the sunshine back. #textileart #embroideredtextiles #stitchedart #machineembroidery #fabricandstitch #artinstitch #winterlandscape #landscapeart #winterinspiration
