Tribute to HM the Queen

‘Tribute to HM the Queen’ is my latest artwork featuring hand stitched text.

The central panel features a hand stitched couched image of our late Queen and the embroidered panel includes a hand sewn aperture and text.

Size 12 x 16 cm. Hand stitched with vintage Sylko thread onto cotton cloth. Assembled onto a Union flag.

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.
