If you know me, you already know that I love fragments of old and antique fabrics and laces.

In the upcoming Sew Somerset, I have an article about some of these fragments, and in the upcoming Art Quilting Studio I have an article about these fragments arranged in quilts. Along with painting and collage, textile art gives me great satisfaction; it also the most portable of the arts I practise, although I have been known to paint canvasses in my sister's house with materials bought locally.

Today I'm grateful I can earn my living doing what I truly love.

Hand-stitched fragments. Available in my Etsy shop.
