Being inspired by the sea How to create beautiful folds and creases in fabric Spontaneity with reverse stitching... hopefully Not a fan of Hardanger preferring less structure & formality The excitement of being included in her first book The delight of meeting others who get so excited about fabric & threads Working on commissions Getting the balance and not over-working or over-embellishing Being the eager recipient of 'button tins' donated by work colleagues Enjoying taking part in Embroiderers' Guild events, activities, competitions & exhibitions, branch, regional & nationallyFor this episode...
