I wanted to let you know about a social networking website for artists, designers, makers and crafters in the UK, which is well worth a visit. I have been on UKhandmade for a while now and have met lots of people with similar interests and it is a great place to find out about art and craft fairs or markets or to link up with people either in your area or all over the country.
I have also started a group on the site for anybody who love and use textiles so, whether you sew, collect fabric, design textiles, quilt, do patchwork etc. I would love for you to join my group. The group is called Textile Tinkerers and can be found under the group section in the left sidebar of the UKhandmade site.
So, go on over and take a look...
