News of latest stitching ranges

No sooner had the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail  (November 2024) – for which I stitched a lot of new fibre artworks, including Vivid Forests – ended when it was time to prepare for the Kāpiti Arts and Crafts Society’s Christmas-New Year Exhibition in Kāpiti Gallery.

I completed two triptychs: Gum Tree Triptych (ii) because I’ve decided not to sell the first one, and Black and Red Villages Triptych (i), the latest in my Quirky Villages series, and began a new Yuletide range, an evolution from my Vivid Forests!

The next couple of Yuletide works will be variations on Christmas Candles, either in groups of three or quartets representing the liturgical Hope, Peace, Joy and Love – works in progress just now.
