Our featured artists for November/December are:

• Fleur Woods, who lives in an idyllic area of New Zealand and is ready to share her unique stitch-paint method via an online course with Fibre Arts Take Two.
• Annie Montgomerie’s anthropomorphic animal dolls are a little bit like Marmite...
• Pop art stitcher Clare Mort’s star is in the (rapid) ascendancy.
• Meet master embroiderer Jenny Adin-Christie whose new book on whitework displays her fine artistry in the method.
• Corinne Young’s workroom is part of her 17th century cottage and surprisingly light.
• Cath Janes turned to embroidering the darker recesses of the human body, with surprising results.
• From County Meath, Eileen McNulty writes of the fairy trees of her childhood and local folklore and the disasters that would befall those who chop them down.
• Cas Holmes is an artist-traveller becalmed by coronavirus and her partner’s illness, all of which has fed into her travelling show.
• Gladys Paulus works with fleece, a physical process through which she seems to imbue feeling in her felt creations, many of which are based around her Dutch/Javanese heritage.
• For Jane Hoodless the museum (and the quirkier the museum the better) is a place of awe, wonder and inspiration, not least for the arcane pieces that sometimes exist therein.

This barn owl is one of the artist's wildlife creations. Perfect, down to every fine detail and even giving off a festive shimmer.
