The aim of this blog is to enable me to share my love of textiles and threads with like minded people. I have always sewn either by hand or machine. I even taught it in the 1970s for a while. I now create my own substrates on which to stitch. Natural methods of dyeing and botanical printing allow me to combine many aspects of my life that bring me joy. Gardens, art and stitch.

TAST latest samples
The last two weeks of TAST challenge samples. See all of the samples so far on my flickr account.
OYSTER STITCH this took some time mastering but it flows easily from the needle. Works well as a bulk/filling stitch as well as a movement and more structured stitch. I used some of my Oliver Twist variegated threads.
BONNET STITCH this stitch allows for movement and in different thicknesses of thread it can be used in many ways.
