‘Raindrops on a Lily Pond’ outdoor garden table centre piece of my own design sewn onto heavy weight white cotton drill using variegated Japanese Daruma thread and Sashiko embroidery.
This site is to show off my hobby of creative hand sewing. It has been a love of mine since I was 10 years old. Now, not only is it a very meditative past time, but it also exercises my eye & hand co-ordination after a battle with a huge brain tumour that didn't take my life but it took from me a lot of skills I took for granted. NOTHING ON THIS SITE IS FOR SALE. Items I make are for me, my family, my friends and occasionally, charity. Enjoy!
