Autumn Hedgerows
Taking inspiration from the fields and hedgerows of Autumn this tutorial will allow you to create an individual piece using hand embroidery onto a wonderfully textured background. I will show you how to create the backgrounds and you can then use the stitches as seen in the samples or can experiment with your own choices. Patterns are supplied for the teasle, cow parsley and brambles as shown.

Square Compositions
This tutorial allows you to create a series (16) of small pieces of work. They could be small ‘stitch meditations’ that keep you occupied for a short while if that’s what you’re looking for, or you could add more stitching if that's where the mood takes you. You could develop a theme and consider mounting them all into a book or a framed piece upon completion.
My theme is black and white and I have included a quote (collected over the years) on each page together with small scraps of fabric and some hand embroidery. Many of you will know that I am a ‘less is more’ kind of person when it comes to stitching despite enjoying it so much, it can be difficult to know when to stop.

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Available as both a tutorial and a taught workshop, this technique uses mono-printing, stamps and stencils, and paint to create individual backgrounds which can then be used to create positive and negative images. These can then be stitched with hand embroidery resulting in a truly individual piece (or two). The subject matter for the tutorial is as supplied in the image below but can easily be adapted to your own choice. A word of warning - once you know how to do this, it can become quite addictive.

Dragonfly
This tutorial will show you how to work with organzas to create a multi coloured effect and add texture to your pieces. Add some hand embroidery to provide the body and outline shape to your creation and enhance the beautiful wings that you have created. Worked onto a graphic background this piece is very striking when completed. Please note - you will need a soldering iron (suitable for use with fabrics) to create the organza wings. Alternatively I can supply wings to you for a small charge - please mention this when contacting me to order this tutorial.

Gelli Prints with Mixed Media
Learn how to create your own unique fabrics by printing with a gelli plate (alternatives are available if you don't have one) then use these fabrics to create an individual piece by incorporating mixed media onto a textured background. I will provide instructions, requirements list and patterns for the individual flowers shown but once you have the technique it is very transferable to any other subject matter.
