Hi Liz I have been trying to contact you regarding the book. I would love to do an interview with you for the Haptic & Hue podcast. But can’t find an email and your publisher doesn’t reply to my emails! contact@hapticandhue.com - all the best Jo

This is a glorious piece of embroidery- Clare Hunter talks a lot about it in her book Embroidering Her Truth and also in her interview on Haptic and Hue.

Are these your clothes? There’s a good chance they are. Every week tonnes and tonnes of garments discarded by people in America and Europe end up here on Ghana’s beaches. How did they get here and how can we stop this? Coming this Thursday on www.hapticandhue.com/listen

Loved the exhibition of Rag Rugs in Middlesbrough- this is hidden art by women making their homes as warm and cheerful as possible

My heart goes out to Zelensky and Ukraine - but I know that these two bullies - Trump and Putin - will fail as so many have failed before to extinguish Ukraine - it lives on in the hearts and minds of its people beautifully expressed in the incredible stitched work

Today’s picture called The White Shirt painted 1922 by the Scottish colourist, FCB Cadell, of a merchant seaman called Jack Abrew who lived in Leith, part of Edinburgh. Fab portrait.
