About me:

I was first taught cross-stitch when I was 7, but didn't pick it up again until I was 21 (and far more patient). Digital programmes help to generate complex images based on photos, and I tweak them until I'm ready to sew ... Otherwise, I enjoy a more freestyle approach with bright patterns. Pieces can take from 1 week up to 3 months. My family's chickens feature a lot: they have big personalities and I try to convey them.

As well as cross-stitching, I like to create with my sewing machine. Such as my bookmarks recycled from pre-loved books, available from my Etsy shop: Sew Wordy. I try to experiment with different ideas and subjects!

Cross-stitch is a relaxing part of my everyday, but my first love is writing. I recently published my first story as a part of QStory Northampton's writing group, in a book called 'Look for Rainbows: An Anthology of Queer Hope' which is available via Amazon in paperback and ebook.
