Heather is firmly committed to working in a ecologically friendly way and is well known for her natural dyeing and eco printing as well as recycling materials
Family responsibilities now mean that Heather can no commit the time to producing work for exhibition with Out of the Fold.

Helen produced many wonderful pieces of work for exhibition, often inspired by images form her native Australia.
Helen has decided that the travelling involved to meetings is now too much and has 'retired' from Out of the Fold.
As a reminder of her many friends in Out of the Fold each member made a stitched postcard in their own style which were presented to Helen at her farewell Christmas lunch.
