Over coffee with a friend, we started to discuss elbows. Her much-loved cashmere sweater was threadbare at said elbows and she asked if I would have any Harris tweed to patch it. This started a conversation about my Roobedo cashmere armies from pre-loved cashmere sweaters that have Harris tweed elbows – and we realised that […]
Roobedo Guest workshop at the ‘Essence of the Dragonfly’ Weekend With Covid over the last 2 years, pretty much all of my workshops stopped. Finally I am planning a few Roobedo days (dates to follow) but delighted that I have been asked by a friend, Jennie, to run a mini workshop as part of a […]
The partridges were busy this morning in the snow and I feel like this inside my head these days a bit! Don’t know whether I’m coming or going as life slides into full gear once again. Dreams, projects, new work, teaching in the mix with life in general. But hoping to use more non-virgin cloth […]

The days are shortening, and I’ve noticed longer shadows casting earlier each day. Becky (my whippet) and I have been seeking shade and coolness in Faskally Forest, a couple of miles North of Pitlochry, as temperatures climb into the mid twenties daily. Dunmore Loch is overflowing with water-lilly and giant yellow flag seed pods. You […]
I am part of this fab open studio event, 4th – 12th September, daily 10-5pm. A chance to come and say hello, look around my workspace and have an opportunity to see me at work amongst all the fabric, thread and trims. It is a small space, but with doors at each end there’s lots […]
Ready for CLOTH#21 and Perthshire open Studios, I have finally developed my new print that has been in my head for such a long time, and I LOVE it! I chose a base of Glenlyon Teal tweed, in a subtle herringbone weave and a linen backing with stripes from salvaged Donald Brothers fabric. The other […]
