Having
come from a background as a textile designer,
design to me is as
important as the stitching.
To this point I have written six books,
strongly design based.
As a teacher of embroidery I also have several teaching
publications
that will become available over time.
Three new work books. All three books are spiral bound and each page is single sided, for ease of transfering the designs |
