Learning something new
Why it is important to learn something new? This year has been a year of inspiration and learning for me. I am inspired by the countryside around me, I am very blessed to live where I live, especially on lockdown and the way life has changed. Still, I think has been a great time to learn and I would like to know how other people have coped with the pandemic and lockdown. I know of some people trying a new language, others try a new exercise routine, start a new business venture like me, or learn a new sport and understanding the ever changing world living with the virus. Choosing to learn something new, simply for the sake of learning or challenging ourselves, improves our lives.

This is my story
This is my story I am formally trained as a social communicator at the Catholic University in Colombia and worked in the industry for few years combined with teaching, until one day my life changes completely. This story began a while ago when I became very ill, and decided to take workshops to learn other techniques and to connect with other mindful people.

That was a big physical challenge - sometimes I had to hide my pain and keep going, but that course gives me the tools, knowledge and confidence to start my own business. While I do use small amounts of new fabrics where needed, the vast majority are unwanted or reclaimed textiles that I had from across the world....
Patchwork Slow stitching kit
About your patchwork Slow-Stitching Kit My fabric collection started more than 25 years ago, when I attended a patchwork workshop in Tavistock Devon, from that moment I fell in love with fabrics, to the point that every trip abroad or in holidays I used to invest my time and money looking for all sort of fabrics. But that changed a few years ago when I learnt that the textile industry is one of the biggest contributors to the pollution in the planet, and I make the point of trying to choose fabrics that may not be of much use to other sewers or crafters. Fabric with holes, stains, tears, old worn-out embroidery or leftovers from curtain shops, quilt shops etc. I believe that getting all that unwanted cloth will add the magic, and give more personality and story to each artwork. In my own work I always make a point of using these ‘features’ of the old and unwanted fabrics and fibres to my advantage to help tell the story of the piece. The kit will contain fabrics that...
