I have been teaching for the past 25 years in related fields of 3-dimensional hand embroidery and designing my own kits for the past 9 years. I love working with a variety of different threads, including silk ribbons to achieve a raised and textured effect in my work. I enjoy experimenting with a broad variety of different types of embroidery techniques, including ribbon embroidery, crewelwork, stumpwork, crazy
patchwork, painting on fabric, canvaswork and appliqué. I am passionate about colour and about nature and often use flowers and landscapes as sources of inspiration. I am currently experimenting with incorporating beads into my actual embroidery stitches, using laces as a design source.

POLICIES: I am at the end of an email so if you have any queries whatsoever, you are welcome to contact me. I am happy to try to oblige with a custom made order - you are welcome to discuss this with me.

I offer many of my kits with an alternative colour or type of fabric so do read the description well and let me know if you do not want the colour fabric as seen in the picture or detailed in materials.
All of my designer kits (full kits) are beautifully packaged and presented in sturdy carrier bags, making them very suitable as gifts. The pattern and print and pattern only kits come in a cellophane bag with a clear and detailed picture on a study card inner. Should you wish the kit to be wrapped for a special occasion let me know and I will do my best to fulfil any wishes.

POSTAGE AND SHIPPING:

My items are all packed in padded white envelopes to protect the contents.

I try to ship out all parcels within 48 hours. All my parcels are sent airmail, using first class mail. I obtain proof of postage for all items posted but this does not cover insurance other than in the United Kingdom, so if you want the parcel to be insured, please contact me for further information or to arrange this.

NB. In the event of your parcel going astray and not being insured, we will not be held responsible for its loss. We have not experienced this problem up until now but please be aware of this policy.

Please be sure to enter your correct shipping address for purchases. In the event that Folksy and PayPal show two different addresses, your package will be shipped to the Folksy address.

I use Royal Mail for all my parcels. Parcels within the UK are usually delivered the next day, to Europe generally with 3-4 days and rest of the world, 5 -10 days depending on where you live. Please be aware that if customs stops your parcel, this may hold up delivery for up to as much as 6 weeks, although this does not happen very often.
