I never tire of beautiful flowers and I am excited to share this workshop with you.
Using a combination of simple stitches learn how to form abstract flowers and leaves to create a lovely art piece. These techniques can be used to embellish garments and other stitched work too.

Sit down, take in the colour and enjoy a morning learning some new stitches, including French knots, detached chain stitch, Pistil stitch and Turkey work.

If you are an experienced stitcher and are contemplating this workshop, let me tell you a little more.

Experience the joy of stitching without a plan or pattern and a full palette of hand dyed wool yarns. Bliss!

Hand dyed yarns are so beautiful to stitch with, they are very forgiving and also provide inspiration for further colour choices in your piece. Every stitch can be a surprise as colours appear and your flowers take shape. It feels a little like magic!

Many of the more experienced stitchers who have come to my workshop can’t believe how uninhibited it is to stitch with these beautiful yarns and although they know the actual stitches, combining them in different ways is very fulfilling and often come up with the most amazing combinations.

Enjoy the pleasure and freedom of stitching while working with quality materials and the deep experience of colour and ease of wool yarn.

I will provide an assortment of beautiful hand dyed yarn and thread at the workshop and you can take home your work in its hoop with your own curated selection of wool to continue on your own.
