<span style="font-family: roboto, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I am moving house to Whitgreave (near Stafford) in January and having a new studio built in the garden. My workshops will be 'on hold' until it's built and I will keep you up-to-date on the progress so please look out for more emails from me in the new year!<br /><br />The new year will also see the launch of my 'homewares', a range of printed products for you and your home, from cushions to wall art, placemats to phone cases. The samples are now starting to come back and I'm really happy with them! To help me out with this, I am pleased to announce that I have a new assistant, Lydia, who will be taking on the admin and the marketing whilst I am busy stitching!</span></div>

My new lampshades, they come in 3 sizes, 20cm 30cm and 40cm diameter, they are made using hand dyed fabrics, applique and free motion embroidery techniques, also hand stitching, beads and loose whiskers on the Hare.

The fabrics are hand dyed and stitched using a log cabin patchwork technique the animals are appliqued then free motion stitched in place with details in couching and machine embroidery detailing. The chairs are fully restored and painted with Annie Sloan paints and waxes and given a distressed look, the upholstery has new foam and the embroidery is treated with flame retardant spray.

My last workshop was another sucess, 7 lovely ladies, a range of abilities, here are some of what they made.<br />
I have been very bad at doing my blog, but I have done a workshop for Stafford College and 2 for The Corner Patch at Eccleshall. I have another workshop at Tixall Stafford on 23rd March which is nearly booked up. My web site is not working at the moment so will blog a bit more to compensate.Jo Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326413932488039911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571415182236173439.post-38990393028466440272012-10-07T18:55:00.000+01:002012-10-07T18:56:03.304+01:00New work<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Also made some new cards, using some fabrics I screen printed on an embroideres guild workshop a few months ago. They are A5 size so quite large and would be ideal for putting in a frame.Jo Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326413932488039911noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571415182236173439.post-15217207985590982862012-05-14T14:25:00.001+01:002012-05-14T14:25:50.258+01:005Th may workshopAnother free style machine embroidery bird workshop on 5th May, went very well, a very high standard as only one lady had ever done any free style embroidery before.<br />
