I to was taught sewing and knitting by my mum as a young girl and at school by a lovely teacher Mrs Fisher ….but it was all so regimented stitches had to be consistent and straight….and while I enjoyed the process I always wanted to do my own thing…….fast forward 40 years and I now do free hand embroidery and textile one off pieces……my little sewing room is bursting at the seams as is my head with ideas…….I love Caroline Saxbys work and find it very inspirational…….

Please excuse this request Carolyn.
Can I please inquire if you are related to the artist Maggie Saxby who created the textile art works that were exhibited in Falmouth’s Cabaret shop in the 1970’s.
I am now in my 60’s and I purchased the textile art work piece titled ‘Bananas’ that was shown in the photograph of the shop window that I observed in the Covent Garden’s shop website of the same name, positioned in the bottom left hand corner of the window. It was the piece with the bright red lips around a hand held yellow banana on a sky blue canvas background.
Thank you

This was a favorite interview – I found that I have lots in common with Carolyn’s taste. Live in a cottage near the sea and the marsh decorated with whites and neutrals/touches of red; I’m also enthralled by handwork of all types, all things natural, colorful, have self taught myself many things such as felting, all types of silk work, joomchi, free-form knitting/crochet, eco & botanical printing,(on my near horizon encaustics incorporating my textiles) – I wanted you to know that I am saving this interview for inspiration. I love it! Thank you.
