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.

Sumptuous Surfaces Sea Urchins Finished
Spent all my free time over the past few days completing my sea urchin embroidery as part of the Sharon Boggon Sumptuous Surfaces class. Took longer than I anticipated but I think well worth it. I am particularly pleased with the recession and the way I managed to use a range of different stitches to capture the texture and surface of the urchins. I had never used drawn thread stitch in this random way before and will definately use it again.
Week four is about a new concept and design process so I'd better get started.

this came out very well. I really love your thread choices.
This turned out really lovely. What size is it?
This is amazing, it really gives me the sense of being at the beach and seeing the sea urchins. I feel like if I touched your urchins they would feel like the real things.
