Friday, 16 March 2012. Is it March already? Oh I have been a very bad blogger, nothing for a long time. Too busy stitching and planning and looking at other peoples lovely blogs. So to make up for it, here is a selection of work from my lovely Children's Center Stitchers:. They are pretty self sufficient now, but still need the occasional 'poke' to remind them they do know what they are doing and remind them of the things they have learnt. Michelle is planning.can you guess? Friday, March 16, 2012. Milto...

Sunday, 2 November 2014. A recent printing course has started and finished! During the already busy month of October, I started and finished teaching an introduction to Textile Printing course. With no particular outcomes in mind other than to have a go at some new techniques for beginners and add some new ideas for textile ladies from previous courses. Anthea had also made some collage plates to make patterns and textures in her printing. This short course was a great success and I think there are lots ...

Thursday, 27 June 2013. After the dyeing came a quick day of Shibori and indigo dyeing with Year 5's. As you can imagine, shibori even in it's simplest form with 60 children was a challenge. 'Make sure you have a knot at the end of your thread before you start stitching! Was my mantra of the day. 'Keep the designs simple' and 'draw them in your art books so you remember which one is yours after it has been dyed and all look the same'. I didn't shut up all day. Some salt sprinkling came to mind and the sa...

Tuesday, 16 July 2013. After a rather jam packed week of stitching and various school events I have managed to finish my quilt of the Century! Whoo hooo for me! I think I've had an out of body experience with it all. Setting such a huge challenge, arranging with a very patient Head of the school and All of the staff, fitting in with numerous special days and school trips, I have not had time to think about it too much. This is the final layout of panels, before stitching the long lengths and binding.

Friday, 4 October 2013. Textiles at the Library. I think I was planning this exhibition when I posted my last blog way back in May. It's up and running now - hurray! Small, compact but a lovely collection of very great work by 10 textile students from the last 4 years of my teaching. The work is here for the month of October, do pop along and see it if you can. Why didn't I take a photograph of everyone with their work! I don't blooming well know, damn it. Anyway, lets try and salvage what I have:. 5 x 2...

Monday, 13 May 2013. Story of Mum in Milton Keynes. I thought I should write about a project I've been involved in for the last few weeks. A networking a supportive website was set up by a Mother and Daughter duo a couple of years ago. The month of May brings their on-line community to Milton Keynes and knowing the 'Mum' of the family I suggested they might like to show our Community quilt in the exhibition as it was made by Mums in New Bradwell/Milton Keynes. Monday, May 13, 2013. Back to my homepage.
