Barbara Reinfeld – Studio Stitches
Website: www.studiostitches.com.au
“I usually work on tapestry frame, which means I can rest the frame on the arms of my chair and stitch with two hands, one on top and the other underneath the frame, which makes for speedy stitching.”
SUCH A PERFECT DAY …
“I love those days when you are unrushed and the deadline for a project is on another page of the calendar. The tea is brewing, I have podcasts waiting to be heard, and I can settle down to some serious stitching. Bliss!”
MY STYLE IS:
“Bright, colourful and graphic, with clear colours and a mix of shapes and lines, but just enough detail to keep me interested.”

THE NATURE OF CRAFT
“Crafts by their nature require practice and commitment, so at some point you have to decide where you are going to put your time and energy.”
Amanda Fletcher

“I am a very creative person and I need that outlet to create something beautiful or simply something that is useful.”
CRAFT IS PASSION
“My craft is my passion, which is my creative outlet and de-stress tool. If I have spare time I can fill it with hand-sewing or crochet.”

MY STYLE IS:
“Overall, I guess my style is complementary stitchery, embellishment and fabrics. I have always loved hexies — I think I can actually describe my ‘style’ as hexies with stitchery and embroidery.”
CRAFTY HAVEN
“I have a comfy space in our lounge room with a work light that I can swing over my work, a footstool and all my craft supplies next to me — heaven.”
