Sam began running Stitch! Workshops and Clubs early in 2008 and enjoys the fun and satisfaction of designing and ‘making things’ with the many different children – boys and girls – as well as adults who attend my classes.
I cannot remember not being able to stitch, my mother was always making or mending something for someone and in between managed to show me what to do. Whereas she made practical things I was incorporating stitch into making pictures, toys and ‘presents’ – some of which my Gran still holds in pride of place. My skills are now a little more mature, but I am always happiest when making something fun.
Sam recently graduated as a mature student with a distinction in Stitched Textiles from Bucks New University and is now a new licentiate of the Society of Designer Craftsmen. She also recently completed City and Guilds studies in Machine Embroidery. Her work during my final project was small witty stitched sculptures influenced by Coral Gardens and made with odds and ends. Have a look at some of her work at her website.
