Lancashire Cheese and Onion Pie

After a lot of deliberating over the design, I’ve finally finished my latest piece of embroidery, called ‘My Mum’s Baking’, which you can see in the The Embroiderers’ Guild – UK ‘Home’ exhibition (along with ‘Time for Tea’ ) at the Knitting & Stitching Shows this Autumn. It’s all about my childhood in Rochdale and my favourite food. Wednesday’s tea was always Lancashire Cheese and Onion Pie. This is my Mum’s own recipe.

Hand embroidered on a vintage pillowcase that belonged to my Great grandmother – displayed on a vintage cheese grater, woven with vintage thread. ✂️

Time for Tea

‘Time for Tea’ is a hand embroidered piece I’ve been working on for the Embroiderers’ Guild ‘Home’ Exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show this year.

It was still on the embroidery hoop, when I received an email about an open call for work in a local gallery on the theme of ‘Home’. After a quick email reply and a trip to the framers, the piece is now on display at Open Door in Berkhamsted until the end of August 2019.
