Welcome to my newsletter.

‘Bijoux Specimen’ – Embroidered terrarium

This 3-D embroidery, from my book Embroidery Atelier, was on show at the recent Textile Fair at Compton Verney.

Inspired by a Bower bird’s nest, it is a twinkling confection of stitched feathers, flora and foliage, embroidery conjures a three-dimensional textural treat.

One visitor commented that it was reminiscent of a richly ornamented Fabergé piece, when she saw the creation nestled under its glass dome.
Dutch Flora

While at the Compton Verney Art Gallery I visited the exhibition Dutch Flowers, the paintings on loan from the National Gallery, London.

As I mentioned in my last newsletter I was inspired to create some embroidered samples, influenced by these stunning floral paintings of the 17th century.

Tulips and fancy anemones caught my imagination for decorative stitch – a new colourful embroidery project commences to keep me busy during the cool months of winter! More news on that in the spring…………….
Embroidered choker commission

The commission, that I mentioned last time, is nearly finished for an American client.

The starting point for such projects always commences with sketches and developing a colour story (see photo).

If you are browsing Embroidery Atelier see pages 42 – 45 for images of the choker ‘Gilded’ which has influenced the style of this commission.
And finally………………
