Description
From an early age I have been fascinated in embroidery and textile.  Saving buttons, threads and antique trimmings from jumble sales and teaching myself embroidery stitches from a book given to me at the age of eight.
Both my mum and sister have always been dressmakers so it is not surprising that I later went on to gain a degree in Fashion Design and worked in the industry for a number of years.
 I returned to textiles purely as a hobby as I still get a great deal of enjoyment from being creative. I have had such a good reaction to my work that I wanted to pursue this further and I am now a full time textile artist.
I have now, after all these years, found a use for my childhood collection of bits and pieces.  Working from a small studio in Lancashire, I design and produce pieces which are both functional and desirable, in an eclectic mix of both contemporary and vintage fabrics.
 I have created a range of quotation cosies, extolling the virtues of tea drinking, as well as my ‘Free Range‘ hen collection of tea and egg cosies.
I currently have my work in Heart Gallery in Hebden Bridge Yorkshire, The Platform Gallery in Clitheroe and Arteria in Lancaster and Cake Walk in Ilkley.
 I will also be featured in the Lancashire Life on line Shop, which will be launched in the August 2008 edition of the magazine, follow the links from www.lancashirelife.co.uk
