Stitchers Journal Issue 20

I’m delighted to announce my hand embroidery appears in a feature article in The Stitchers’ Journal Issue 20 published by Caroline Zoob @thestitchersjournal .

In late November 2023 I received an invitation from Caroline to take part in the magazine and of course I accepted.

In March 2020 at the the start of the first UK Lockdown, I received a message from by Cas Holmes. She was in the planning stage for a new book and wondered if I’d be willing to have a piece of my art published in it. The chapter she had in mind was about words and memories and how they are captured in cloth. I was delighted to be asked and I’m beyond words to see my work in print.
