In case anyone would like to have a listen, Sue Weekes at Stitchery Stories asked me to be a guest - we talked about stitching heroes, Having A Go, and the time Ruth Goodman inspired me to fail...
And of course lots of other episodes there if you don't fancy this one !
Indeed. Having, like you, been unencumbered by knowledge in this area when I started, it never occurred to me I couldn't do it -- I was young, of course, and had never tried anything I couldn't do, so that helps. I just saw something I wanted to do, and so I did it (sort of, after a fashion, and I'm still fond of it because it is so utterly not perfect)
Thanks to my daughter I have recently discovered podcasts. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your interview on Stitchery Stories. Can’t wait to catch up with more.
