This is what I have been working on most recently. Strips of silk woven into painted tyvek and then blasted with heat gun. this was then FME and machine wrapped cords and beads added as embellishment. It is for the Silk-n-Threads exhibition at Tatton Park 15th march to 1st June entitled 'Year of the Garden'. I wanted to create that overwhelming feeling when there is so much colour in some flower beds during the summer. I think I achieved it.
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.

Pink Explosion is fabulous. Love the colors and textures and everything about it.
Your silk garden piece is beautiful! I think you achieved your goals perfectly.
Two beautiful pieces of Art Margaret.
The TIF is beautiful in it's simplicity and the pink explosion garden is vibrant.
The contrast between the TIF piece and the garden one is fabulous.Love them both.I find it very difficult to be a minamalist, I think it has a lot to do with being Indian because everything has to be embellished every square inch is more like it.

It might be minimal but it also beautifully simple
Love the 'blowsy feel of the garden piece - can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Good luck with the exhibition.
WOW!!
your explosion of colour in your lovely pink garden is beautiful!
What a delight you created with the Pink Exlposion garden. It's really amazing.
Love your artwork and your blog,
