I love going to a craft class, you meet so many wonderful crafty women, each one with a love of creating and a story to share. Be it a knitting workshop or a quilting bee, it doesn’t take long for the stories to start. If you’ve ever been on a crafty workshop you will know that crafty girls talk! In Crafty Girls Talk I have interviewed 20 creative women from around the world: USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We explore the different ways crafty women have taken their passion. Many crafty women seeking independence from a job start businesses: from big to small, retailers to wholesalers, from makers to designers. Others have travelled the world following their crafty passions. Some of the women craft for fun, for family or to give to someone they have never met. Many of the crafty girls knit or sew, felt or embroider, some scrapbook and patchwork and others are true multi-crafters. “When I lock up the store at night and the lights have all been turned off, the light from the city is just enough to outline all the cabinets and shelves full of little treasures, combined with the beautiful St Paul’s Cathedral lit up in the background, there is a stillness and quiet that is quite magic.” Kim Hurley - L’uccello
