A colourful workshop with members of the Much Wenlock WI brought Open Studios 2017 to a delightful end today. Textile stories and techniques have been exchanged as those who stitch do! Thank you for all my lovely visits.
And I said goodbye to my blackbirds as they went off to a new home.
Happy Open Studios 2017
These garden birds and other work can be seen at my home studio and at The Willow Gallery next month as part of Open Studios in and around Oswestry. (10th/11th & 17th/18th June) There will be demonstrations and I may have cake!
And some of my embroideries will be flying further afield this Autumn as part of the following two exhibitions.
Birds of Wales Exhibition 16th September – 5th November at Oriel Ynys Mon, Anglesey

I still have a couple of pieces of work I’d like to finish, but finish or not, my door will be open as part of the BVA Open Studios for the next two weekends. 11th/12th & 18th/19th June, 2016. Group Exhibition at The Willow Gallery, Oswestry.
There will be old and new pieces on show and a little impromptu stitching too! All are welcome.
Happy, stitching days.

With three weeks to go until BVA Open Studios, everything is starting to fit into place. I shall have various pieces of sewing on the go so if you would like a “little how to” demonstration please feel free to ask.
For those of you who may wish to visit, more information and maps can be downloaded from the BVA website or picked up at The Willow Gallery and Library, Oswestry and participating studios.

Sunny, happy open studios
Along with other BVA artists, I will be opening my studio on the 13th/14th & the 20th/21st June, 2015. There will be artists workshops, demonstrations and a group exhibition at The Willow Gallery, Oswestry, throughout the month.
In my own studio you will find framed/unframed pictures, mixed media pieces, stitched birds, cups and saucers. Free machine embroidery demonstrations on both Saturdays and Sundays on request.
A very busy time but deadlines are always good for creativity!
Stitch, create and be happy …
