Teresa Bettelley is a textile artist who works from her attic studio in Nottingham, where she's surrounded by her stash of crafty bits, fabric and yarn. She creates hand-stitched embroidery hoops inspired by the world around her - houses, the weather, a good cup of tea, flowers, pot plants and birds. She enjoys the slow process of making much more than she enjoys tidying up.
