TRAVELLING STITCHES: A group of City and Guilds Graduates formed Travelling Stitches. Sue Daniels, Laura Thompson, Jan Lovell, Nicholle Mynett , Anna Nowicki, Linda Saltmarshe, Rosemary Watson and myself. Living across 3 continents we decided to call ourselves Travelling Stitches and we worked together for 4 years. Below are pieces we made individually and collaboratively as noted.
