    The last couple of years have been quiet for me, in terms of producing new exhibition work. I have more than fully occupied teaching, writing, making small products, teaching more, setting up Ruth Singer Studio and who knows what else. What I haven’t done much of is make new work. It hasn’t been a priority…

    I’ve been a bit quiet about this, but it is finally time to announce that I have written a book on fabric manipulation which will be out in 2013, published by David & Charles. Details are to be confirmed so I can’t tell you a lot yet, but it will be out in the summer…

    I can hardly believe that my first born book is now translated into Russian! It looks completely different.. the cover is different, the size is different, but the pictures look just the same. Sew it Up has been translated into Finnish and Norwegian and Russian, with an American edition too called The Sewing Bible. Over…

    Pleats and folds have fascinated me since I started designing and making professionally, seven years ago. It all started many years before with an obsession with 18th century dress trimmings made from folded and manipulated silk. My new book on fabric manipulation, due out in 2013, has a whole chapter on pleating and folding techniques.…

    Rather too close to the wire (2 days from deadline), I completed my red & white quilt and sent it off in the post to the Festival of Quilts.  I’ve entered two pieces in the open competition. This quilt – Polonaise.   It has taken weeks to make – each circle of stuffed shibori takes…

    I tend to be a bit cautious about showing work in progress online and as I write this I am pondering exactly why this is…  Is it not wanting to give away my techniques?Is it not being confident that the finished piece will work?Is it jealously guarding my creative process?Is it that I don’t think…
