I think my greatest sewing accomplishments are the pieces I&#8217;ve sewn from personal photos (see Photo Projects) and the stationery I designed and stitched for my wedding and the wedding of a close friend (see Weddings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I currently live in Reigate, Surrey, with my husband and daughter.
