My work is a celebration of the craft of
stitching, darning, mending and replacing a lost button. With much time and
thought this then becomes an avenue for expression, elevated beyond the merely
practical. The origin of darning is to make good a worn surface, but it can be
decorative. A humble button can be more than functional. I come from 3
generations of professional dress-makers and with 30 years experience of
embroidery I continue to “mend my ways” and meditate on the art of stitching.

Cloth is the silent companion of us all; used to
protect, comfort and decorate. Since being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, working with fabric has become an essential part of my life. The
process of stitching calms my mind and body, like meditating, helping to heal and mend my body
and bringing a warm glow to my soul. These pieces express the thoughts and
emotions felt as I sew.
