Fabric applique and machine stitch. 
Lovely threads
Using various stitches to create textures
Adding shellsI have shared some of these pictures on flickr.
Here are a few more.
This work was inspired by looking at the surface of shells, when you study them, draw them, feel them.
I wanted to show the texture and all the subtle variations of colour.
I then decided to incorporate some of the shells into the fabric, binding them with threads.
I was also working on a few brooches at the weekend, adding different fabrics onto the wool and machine stitching.
Thank you to anyone who has time to read this blog and hope you have a good week.

Oh, I'm speechless! I've loved your flickr pics lately - they're so beautiful of such beautiful work! Your fabric brooch looks gorgeous!!
I am intrigued by your use of fabric and thread, so beautiful!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Your work is very beautiful, very carefully embroidered. do you draw your designs (as in the wonderful angel below) first and then embroider over it or are a lot of these just freely done? Lovely lovely work.

Just a little note to say that the fabric brooch that I recently purchased from your Etsy shop is even nicer in real life than it looks on your blog. You have obviously put a great deal of care and skill into making it. Thanks again.
Hi there, Thanks for the good wishes for my grand daughter, they are much appreciated. I'm glad I dropped by here, I have been mesmerised by your wonderful stitches. Are these ATC size by any chance? Do you ever do swaps? I would love to make a swap with you if and when you have the time. Thanks again Tricia
