This month I'd like explore hand stitching.I would like to muse why and when I use hand stitching, show my inspirations, share my experiences and if possible I would love to interact with you and hear what you think of the different aspects ... the more so if you have different opinion or an another experience.
I was so lucky and 5 artists have offered to join me this month, sharing their works and experiences with us. So let's start by introducing them shortly.
Margaret Ramsay is a British artist who has some strong and special hand stitched quilts and writes a very interesting blog.
