Contemporary Textiles Fair 2015

So here I am in Teddington, at the Landmark Arts Centre, for the annual Contemporary Textiles Fair. It’s a fabulous show, full of beautiful textile art work, garments and accessories. the artists and makers are all on hand to talk about their work with visitors.

I’ve met so many lovely people here today. People have enjoyed looking at my work and discovering how I make it, it’s good to talk (even better to make some sales)!! People are surprised that I travel so far but it’s worth it😀

Most of these little Puffin badges have flown off to new homes now- so I’m glad I risked setting off the hotel fire alarm to finish them! ( I use an iron to melt the backs to flatten them☺️) tonight’s job, finishing off some silver lining cloud brooches is less risky😊

I hope I’ll get chance to chat to some more of the lovely stall holders tomorrow – there are so many gorgeous things to see!

I am a professional textile artist specializing in Appliqué and Free Motion machine stitching. In order to create a unique colour palette, I hand dye my own fabrics and then use these to create the landscapes and coastal scenes recorded in my sketchbook. I often incorporate recycled or vintage fabrics in my work - they add meaning to the story the work is telling. I love being so close to the Northumbrian coast and countryside and I especially like taking time walk and draw these stunning landscapes
