A celebration of texture! Layers of time worn fabrics, hand stitched together. Applied to a background of patchwork, where the top cotton layer has worn away, revealing the lace 'wadding'.

Thanks for stopping by. x

Hello and welcome to my Blog.

My name is Viv....I am a textile artist based in Staffordshire, UK. Working with time worn fabrics, ephemera and stitch. My inspiration comes from my love of antique textiles, vintage haberdashery, Folk Art, gardens, flowers, beloved pets, British countryside and birds. Form, texture and humour too. My work can be found for sale in my Etsy Shop. I work spontaneously and therefore, I am unable to accept commissions. I deliver workshops and attend Contemporary Craft Fairs across the UK. I am happy to discuss UK/International opportunities. Please see my email address below if you would like to contact me. Thank you and do call back again soon.
