#wilcomhatch

Years of working retail is the blame my very dark shade of humour. During the lockdown at the start of this year, I started with a Wilcom Hatch trial and got hooked on how fun designing in it was. I made some terrible pencil drawings and my friend @artinglion did the line art. The plague is still making rounds and lockdown times were quite a mental attack. But hey, at least we can say we survived 2020! #machineembroidery #darkhumor #wilcomhatch #mask #2020survivor https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmbl7MMG0h/?utm_medium=tumblr

This came up in my memories today. It is a detail of a quilt I made for my husband of his favorite poets. I digitized and embroidered the faces and their signatures. Here’s Samuel Beckett.#machineembroidery #bernina #hatch #wilcomhatch #artquilt #samuelbeckett #poet #embroideryart #embroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvrg7Q4HVah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ep1sj4yj861

This was one of my first backpacks combining appliqué and embroidery. The theme is Herman Melville's poem "The Stone Fleet". #bag #backpack #artbag #machineembroidery #bernina #wilcomhatch #quiltedbag

This was one of the most difficult Dore' pictures on this bag to capture. " The Albatross " had had so much detail that I couldn't leave out. My image needs to be looked at from a distance rather than up close. #digitalart #artbag #machineembroidery #bernina #wilcomhatch #quiltedbag #gustavdore

We have a poster of Gustav Dore's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" hanging in our house that I had attempted to digitize for years. I just couldn't get the lines right because I tried to include too much. By using a fabric for the background I finally was able to get am image that I could live with for my backpack. #digitalart #artbag #machineembroidery #bernina #wilcomhatch #gustavdore
