Story: I have stitched since a young child, encouraged by my Great Aunt Maggie. Stitching can be used to join a huge variety of materials making it a truly versitile technique. Hand stitching is an enjoyable process with a repetetive rhythm and meditative quality and my preferred method. Stitches can be practical, decorative and convey messges of love or protest. I like to use stitch to convey a message.

There are economic benefits too and in these times of over consumption being able to make, mend and repurpose is my small contribution to saving the planet.
