In the press

I am fortunate to have been published in many magazines and journals over my career. Below you can peek at some of the articles and projects I have had published.

Fiber Talk with Lorna Bateman

I was first interviewed for the podcast Fiber Talk in 2017 by the lovely hosts Gary and Christine! Have a look here if you are interested in having a listen to our chat.

Now in 2026, I once again featured on the podcast and in some live streams on their youtube channel. You can watch my newest Fiber Talk interview here!

I have been published in several editions of the lovely Inspirations magazine. I was delighted to have a 10 page spread in Issue 78 for my nostalgic silk ribbon blooms project. The 100th issue in October 2018 featured the My Cottage Garden project which is available as a kit and pattern from shop.

Most recently, my Wildflower Profusion design was featured in issue no. 126 of the magazine.
