I have been sewing in one form or another since a very early age but when I retired I decided to concentrate on textiles and embroidery. I spent the next three years taking City and Guild Stages I and II. Since then I have been producing pictures using varying forms but I now seem to favour applique with top stitching and use many techniques, including hand-dyeing, watercolour paints and crayons. Happiness is a needle and thread!

This is applied fabric over a felted background. On top of this background the boat was again applied fabric and then the whole picture was finished with hand stitched detail.
