I love beautiful, natural fabrics and creatively fun things.

I have, for as long as i can remember, made things. As a child I knitted, embroidered , crocheted and sewed.
Later I very much liked to travel, so inevitably I brought back textiles and ideas.
When I moved to Gloucestershire 30 years ago I did Open College of Arts courses 1 and 2 in Texiles design .These included dyeing with natural materials.

Now that I am retired and at home in my Gloucestershire village , I am putting my ideas and fabric collection to good use. As I I live near the Lewis and Wood workshop I have assess to their beautiful linens. I use this for my roll up ,or fold over games.

I love finding co-ordinating colours and creating a piece that is attractive, useful and fun. Almost everything I make is a ‘one-off’, with the occasional pair.
