Writing

Publications

During my professional career, I’ve written three sewing books for traditional publishers as well as my self-published book Criminal Quilts. I have also produced an exhibition catalogue for Narrative Threads, and a new publication Making Meaning Journal.

I have also written for magazines, books and other publications including articles about my own work. I occasionally take on freelance writing projects about craft, textiles and history but my current writing is either about my own work or about artist support.
