Hello everyone
I will start the ball rolling with an article I wrote about my latest collection of political caricatures…

We (Debra and Stacey) work part time for the NHS which we and are very passionate about. Making gives us another common interest and is great fun and so good for our mental health. We see stitching and pattern everywhere and in everything
and so we thought The Ubiquitous Stitch describes us and our products perfectly.
Our products are all thing we would want to have ourselves and give us such pleasure making them. They vary from fabric hearts, button brooches and needle cases to mulberry silk knitted shawls and felted lambs wool teddies and we have a slowly expanding collection.
Now we have more products our thoughts are turning to branding, packaging and marketing and all is a steep learning curve. Photos are also a challenge as we aim to show how our products look as accurately as possible but getting the light and background right is difficult.

Showcasing this photo today. These are a selection of our handmade goodies. It can take days, if not weeks to produce some of our shawls. Many are made of silk yarn often hand dyed and produced in small batches by other artisans.
Supporting other small craft businesses is important to us. We hope to feature products made from interesting and lovingly produced yarns or fabric made in the U.K. in our future makes.
