Hi, I'm Helen. I had a long science-based career, before re-discovering my creativity. I’m now a full-time textile artist and designer-maker with an overwhelming passion for fabrics and all things haberdashery. I love the design process of combining textures, colours and patterns to create something beautiful. Although I enjoy creating pretty but practical items, I’ve recently fallen in love with creating textile artworks. I love to play around with a combination of fabric appliqué, hand embroidery and free-motion embroidery (where I set up my sewing machine so that I can move the fabric in any direction to “draw” on the fabric with the thread). I'm inspired by things that I have a personal fondness for, and my designs feature a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, seascapes, animals, birds, flowers, mushrooms, fairy houses, gnomes, beach huts, cottages etc. - quite an eclectic mix! I love Russian dolls and I designed my logo around one of my Russian doll appliqué designs.
I have a small studio at home, but it’s overflowing with fabric and haberdashery supplies, so I generally tend to work at my large dining table, which is usually buried under mountains of fabric, work in progress and my two much-loved sewing machines. I live with my husband and our two dogs, Millie and Eric, who keep me company whilst I’m working. Our son and daughter have left home and no longer have to endure the mayhem of my disorganised work space!
As well as selling through my Folksy shop, I can often be found at artisan markets and craft fairs in and around the Midlands (I am based in South Derbyshire). I accept orders for commissioned pieces, as long as I feel that the request fits in with my style.
Designing and making is my passion and I hope that the items that I am inspired to create bring as much joy to others as they do to me.
