Valentine's day

Make your sweetheart's day with a  valentine gesture.

Saint Valentine's day, commonly known as Valentine's day is the 14th February every year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day. The day was associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages. In the 15th century it evolved as an occasion when lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, giving confectionery and sending greeting cards, known as "valentines".Then in the 19th century handwritten valentines gave way to mass produced greeting cards. Why don't you make something or personally hand pick something for your sweetheart for tomorrow.

Latest work

                 Ideas are flowing and I just can't  embroider fast enough. 

With embroidery so in demand I have so many ideas for brides and their ensembles

I can create bespoke pieces of embroidery to place wherever we want. Less is more, it doesn't take a lot of embroidery to make something very special.

If you have too much embroidery on a veil it can weigh it down too much, some working small areas is as effective and delicate.

An example of areas of the veil embroidered.

Belts are another popular feature and can be areas of embroidery and beadwork.
