Talks

I love to share stories and images of my travels in India, and my delight in block print and embroidery, indigo and Islamic geometric design. I've been fortunate to meet and observe talented artisans, some specialising in traditional skills and some who are applying a contemporary approach and seeking out new worldwide markets.

I aim to capture the mood of a place in my images and of course to acquire interesting samples along the way.

We all enjoy a textile extravaganza so contact me if your group would be interested in an illustrated talk online, or in person where the event can be genuinely tactile.

I spent today driving about in the sunshine, checking out venues for new tours. 
Caught up with lovely @lammermuirwool and managed to keep my hands off her yarn (just) 
Had to stop to photograph these two as I headed for the coast!
🧵Thanks for the lovely sales of my wee kits-in-tins this last week or so. New stock in production today of Indigo Patchwork and Indigo Garden tins.

Does anyone dye yarn with all the rich dark nuances of black cherries? 
I think that would be perfection.

Admittedly tomorrow I may feel the same way about wild strawberries, or starling plumage. Today, though, is a cherry day

Stitching at the kitchen table tonight. 
Small project, wonky stitches, no rules.
Finally finished the simplest shawl(ette) and it’s off for a wee bath. May show it off when it’s blocked🤗
Just before the heavens opened on us. 
Again!
Morning walks with Bruce🐾
🤗🧵❤️
New bundles in the shop! 
Lots of blues, lots of birds - bit of a theme…
Each bundle is a one-off mix of fabrics, threads and finished items - often sample pieces I’ve made - and always a little extra tucked in the box too😘

Wednesday windowsill - garden gleanings and my own wee stash of hand dyed threads from favourite dyers🧵🤗🧵
