The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
My visit to the Shirt Collar Exhibition at the Shell House Gallery, was everything I thought it would be. I’ve been following the lead up to it for some time, and finally manged to see the work on the last date of the exhibition.
This weekend at Hope and Elvis was perfect for recharging my creative batteries. Lots of sewing, yummy food and fabrics galore! This is my third class with the amazing Janet Bolton and each time I learn more.
Janet is an inspirational tutor. Her hand stitched work is breathtaking.
The day started with a talk through some of her current work, before she demonstrated her sewing method with one of her famous chickens.

My first love is a bit of hand sewing. Occasionally a project requires a little more stitching – some free motion embroidery. It’s then, my wonderful trusty Bernina is dusted off, plugged in and threaded up.
This piece of sewing – work in progress – is a small piece made using raw edge applique onto a vintage French Quilt.
