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.

There’s a whole long bare-twig hawthorn hedge near me with this one enthusiastic early bloomer. Either very brave or rather foolhardy…😳

It’s a grey morning here but the sun shone yesterday so here’s a little Wednesday windowsill to encourage a brighter day…

Sunday eve:
Fire lit, 
knitting at the ready. 
I’m all set for The Great Pottery Throw Down🤗
🧶A heap of handknitted hats on their way to @operation_christmas_stocking next weekend. 

I’m planning to visit @wool_gathering_at_winton on Saturday as there’s a great line-up of stall holders in a lovely venue and I can deliver the hats to the OCS collection point.

These simple knits have suited my limited powers of concentration this winter. They’ve helped me use up leftover yarns to make genuinely useful items which will ultimately be distributed to those in real need of warmth and care. 

Win Win Win 🤗
☀️Last day of February
A day of promise and birdsong

A moment of calm on a chilly morning
Breathe it in for a moment or two

Wee Wednesday Windowsill…
