Our fundraising art exhibition, A Letter in Mind, returns for its ninth year. This year’s theme …. ‘A Sense of Movement’….. takes its inspiration from all that we have been missing over the last few years, such as travelling to far-off places, experiencing new activities and moving through life in a stimulating world. Whether you are feeling that change is in the air or you prefer to take the theme literally, we hope that you’ll be inspired by this year’s focus for A Letter in Mind. The artwork … will all be priced at £85, exhibited at Gallery Different and sold via our online gallery.

Knitting & Stitching Show 2022

It’s that time of year – The Knitting & Stitching Show 2022 ! I’ve filmed a quick preview of the event for you. Stay tuned and Subscribe to catch up with all the latest events from the Show.

I’m attending, press pass in hand, filming all the events and interviewing as many artists as I can fit into the four days. A brilliant show – as you can see from the amazing textile art shared in the video below.

I thoroughly enjoy exhibiting with the Guild. It’s a brilliant way to introduce my work to a wider audience and engage with new stitchers – in last year’s show I exhibited Matchbox Challenge and Headspace – Self Portrait.

If you’re visiting the exhibitions, I’d love to see your Show photos – Please tag me! https://www.instagram.com/catherine_hill_textile_artist/

Fragments & Sylko Addict will be part of the Harrogate show later on in 2022. Check the K & S Show website for show dates and opening times.
